Well, the large Aquashark sub ("Shark's Crystal Cave") and the #2-sized Aquasharks
set are both still in stock at a KB ToyWorks here in NJ. The bad side? They're
still full price. (!!!) The Planetary Prowler I bought up at $10/ea from a local
Wal-Mart. But when it came to the 6097, well, I bit at $40--I needed the parts!
(Don't need the minifigs--anyone want to trade some wall pieces for some Castle
minifigs? I'm up to my eyeballs in Bat Lords!)

I think it's hideous. But for parts, it's a steal--especially if I can pawn off
the minifigs! Besides, I've never owned a LEGO cauldron...lots of frying pans and
glassware, but nary a stew pot in the lot.

I got a couple of those--also rather hideous, but also awesome for parts. One
day, I'll get all the silly and superfluous parts that I hate but others love, and
I'll have a big ol' virtual LEGO yard sale for the Castleheads and Townies. ;)
