I was lucky enough to find a box from S@H on my recliner when I came home today, and found this 1775 set inside it. I was tempted at first to order 4, so I could get another free McDonald's set, but I only ordered one. I hope I am not too late to (...)

It seems to me, unless TLG is way behind for some reason, we should be seeing the first of the 2000 sets very soon in stores. Last year, I first saw new Ninjas (4805) around Halloween. Anyway, I just got a gift certificate for Target of all places, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
