I am all for more access to hard to find sets. I did post earlier that the
chrome sets can be found at the Orlando Imagination center. I had posted that
my neighbor found them for me. I had actually asked them to look in Fla groc.
stores.
My gripe is larger than just the chrome sets as I said. of the 158 sets listed
by Huw M. on his web site data base about 130 are unique or not duplicate sets
with different numbers. 21 of those ( including the chrome sets ) I group
together and call promo sets. Five are from the Fright Knights; 2538, 2539,
2540, 2848 and 2872. Four are from the 1st generation nija theme; 1184, 1185,
1186 and 1187. Four from the 2nd gen. ninjas 3074, 3075, 3076 and 3077. Now
the Knights Kingdom have two generations of hard to find sets; 1286, 1287, 1288
, 1289 and the four chrome sets.
Again I am all four the effort at civil disorder on behalf of King Leo. But
can we expand it. Can we show them there is a market to support wider
distribution of their product.
very respectfully,
don
