I'm not so sure that's necessarily true. It will depend on what Lego
ends up charging for shipping and handling. Particularly here in the
states. Unless they ARE going ot reissue older sets that are not
available in local stores, I'd just as soon buy the set here at
ToyWorks, and have it immediately than pay the same, or more to have it
shipped to me within a week.
