It's retiring soon and currently out of stock, but will be re-stocked in a couple of weeks. You can order it now for 50% off.

How did you find this? It doesn't show up under Sales and Deals, and how do you order it if it is out of stock, and know that it will be re-stocked?

As mentioned by a previous poster, the deal didn't last very long. But to answer your question, the deal was on the last page of the Sales and Deals page. At the time, you had the option of ordering it and it had a disclaimer stating that it was currently out of stock, but expected to ship in early March (can't remember the exact date).

Facepalm...I kept thinking this was the set with the Heavy Duty Helicopter thus I didn't click it...I would have grabbed that TMNT Baxter set too...was looking to get it to get one of each Turtle (got 2 of them from The Shellraiser Street Chase; think it's Leonardo and Michelangelo from that set). It's a freaking TRU exclusive I think so it's unlikely I'll be able to get that as cheap as that price otherwise.

Apart from it being 50% off and it is Lego, is there anything particularly desirable about this set?
At the original price and # of pieces (only 425 pieces), you'd think the retail price should have been about $45-50 max... so for my wallet, this feels more like a 20-25% off deal than 50% off deal.

Was it priced so high because there aren't many 'hospital/medical' sets, and those that do exist are kinda crappy? Then again, this particular set, apart from the helicopter, just seems very... meh. And maybe that's why its on clearance?

I totally agree with all your points. The baxter set however is at least a TRU exclusive and has exclusive figs. I managed to get a few on sale.

$8 shipping kinda hurts this deal...
