Hey, look, I was INTENSELY happy when the Target Promo Pack came out and I
got the 2886 racecar.  Then I was pissed when I could only get 16 boxes of
it before they were all gone in our area, because only ONE of the local
Targets carried them.

I would NOT take the promo sets for granted, I'd just BUY the damn things
;-)  If Shell US would pull their head out of there rear, I'd start buying
gas at Shell for a while.  But I refuse to until they carry the promo Lego
that many other countries are carrying.

And while you're at it, can you send all those neat UK-only promos over to
the US?  You're spoiling UKers and torturing us.

The Shell sets are killers, yet they are marching all over the world EXCEPT
the US, it seems.  I refuse to buy gas from Shell until they do bring Lego
(and I mean the SAME sets the other countries are getting, not some dumbed
down McDonalds crud) here to the US.

I wonder if this is a case of the grass is greener on the other
side...

If we could get the promo sets easily here, would we think they were
just as desirable?

OR would familiarity breed contempt?
