You may be right Frank! I've heard a number of stories of these sets
dissapearing at the last minute. I can't believe there is that many AFOLs
in these areas that I'm not familiar with. Sure some, but not that many!
I'm wondering if maybe there is just more single lego buyers than I would

people may be tempted to buy. An interesting note is that most of the
buyouts that I've heard about occurred before the price dropped the third
time. Makes me think that they didn't know about the upcoming final reduction.
