2AA Minimag Flaglight? 4th of July repeat?

OK, now that I've got your attention. Please position your seat in the upright position and attach your oxygen mask for vertical descent...

Seriously, last year the weekend before the 4th, Fry's had the 2AA flaglight at the ridiculous price of $4.99. I scarfed about 20 of them and wish I took the 115 that was available in the Palo Alto Frys store.

I posted the day I accidentally discovered the sale and no one noticed. Wonder if there will be a repeat this year.

I know that 90% of you could care less, since you probably don't know what a Frys store is or where one is. I think they only have stores here in CA.

Anyway, I'm hoping they repeat this again this year. I'm going to scarf them up by the boxloads if I can...

Personally I have no idea what a Frys is, but if they do have a repeat and you manage to get some please share the wealth. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Frys electronics is a store created in silicon valley. They have retail outlets in California (USA) and an online output called outpost.com. http://www.outpost.com/

Maybe the sale item will show up there too.

Ah... Lovely Fry's... One's just so conveniently located 15 minutes from here...

Heh, yeah I second that /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just as long as it doesn't attract any unwanted attention from a certain flashlight manufacturer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

They've got 3 stores here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, thanx for the heads up. I'll be watching out for these.

I'll make sure to stand post in the Mag area!

Thanks!

Thanks Dat2zip for the heads up.
I will surely watching over this sale. Hmm, 4th of july, any other sale at the time?

We have one Fry's in Oregon about halfway between Salem and Portland at Wilsonville. The store's location was strategically selected by Tandy for their Incredible Universe. When Tandy finished with their Incredible Universe, they sold it to Fry's. Fry's doesn't possess near the "eye candy" show time merchandising skills as Tandy, but it's still a useful electronics source. It's too bad we can't have both here.

Fry's is still a California exclusive at heart. I noticed in the frequency guides they sell even in Oregon is California frequencies only. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

Incredible Universe went out of business because its pricing was ordinary and its buyers were sluggish to respond to product life cycle issues.

Frys is nimbler and and has more aggressive pricing.

The Frys I can get to is way across town, but that is where I first saw the miniflag and is where I shall hopefully find one this year!

A little off -topic, does the brinkmann legend 2aa ever go on sale?

I don't think it's ever gone on sale on Brinkmann's site or on REI...

Conshohoken's REI should carry them for $10, and that's probably the best price overall you'll find on them...

Home Depot in San Diego has them in a display at "$10 regularly $14.99"

There is a Fry's in las Vegas...just opened last November.

Well, if it's going to happen it will be this friday.

Anyone contacted a Frys store and talk to the manager to see if they know of the sale?

So, I take it the sale is not on this year...

I was there yesterday (Thursday) and there were no flaglights at all.

We called the Sunnyvale store and they said they had none available. I think this is a bust. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

No, but REI regularly (about quarterly) has a 20% off coupon good for any regularly priced item. So, you could say that REI has it for 20% off about 4 times a year. I usually use the 20% off coupon on a higher priced items...
