     I picked up some stuff I had on layaway from WM. Figs of course. Well, they gave me the price break of $4.77 down from $5.88, so I saved $5.95 there. The lady told me that the refund was good for figs purchased dating back to MAY!!! Well, my fiancee just happened to have a receipt with her from a previous layaway. I asked the lady if I could get the difference on them. She said to check with customer service. I did, and low and behold they gave me the difference back! This was a transaction done last month! I got back $4.53. Roughly 50 cents each for the 9 figs I had bought. So folks, if you've saved you're old receipts from WM, take them back and see if they'll do a price adjustment. You may just get some money back!

The lucky spectators above the royal box are ecstatic when they see their favorite podracers go by.

     Mos Espa Arena Grandstand: The immense grandstands of Mos Espa Arena are cradled within a natural canyon amphitheater on the edge of the Western Dune Sea. Once inside the arena, fans are able to visit the various concourses where they can place bets, purchase souvenirs and visit exhibits.
