Thanks for the Heads up Eric!! I went out yesterday and got all 4 of the sets,
though man... was that place a MESS... I walked around the store about 5 times
before I found the sets, I even asked 2 people that work there and they had no
clue..  I'm wondering how long that store's been carrying lego, I was there about a
year ago and they didn't have any. Of course I think it was a KB toys at that time,
not Toy Works..
Next time you're in the area, let me know! maybe we can meet up this time :)

I'm impressed with the contents of each one. I'm partial to the ptyuriges (sp?)
in 4817 (Dungeon), which are the painted-on brown straps covering the upper
legs. They would look good on the legions if the legions could afford them for
everyone. 4818 (Dragon Rider): I love that chrome helmet too. Too bad 4818
worsens the overabundance-of-reptiles problem. The high and low points of the
series in one box. 4816 is strong overall, what with Princess Storm and a
Defense Archer type and the catapult bits. 4819 (Rebel Chariot) is also a fair
value just on parts. I don't have much use for the silver shield. By the way,
the chariot driver is sleeping! Is this the first dozing minifig head?

At $6 ($5) a pop I'm holding at one of each. (You army builders can pour out
the cash.) However, if my money said "just spend me" I'd buy duplicates of
these before any other sets.

(*KB also had $50 off the Mindstorms DDK and RD, and 50% off 6199. No RIS, or
I'd be a Mindstorms addict already. Also 50% off Pooh. I needed Tigger's
Treehouse but it was too big to carry home! Oh, bother.)

(...) about a (...) time, (...) I forgot what a mess it was. Lego in 5 different places. But you should see an ordinary KB in New York, where I believe they make the shelves closer together and pick up the crushed toys less often. At the back corner (...) (24 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)
