[ Ray provides a clue ]
Next time you go to your local TRU, ask if they have any Lego 6444. The sales
clerk will undoubtably say "huh ? whatzzat ?" Find someone knowledgeable with
the TRU terminal system. Ask them to check for UPC number '42884 06444'. That
would be the UPC for Outback Airstrip. They first convert it to a TRU sku
number, then they should be able to view stock at all stores in the region. Some
stores can see more than one region. Get the store number that *supposidly* has
stock. Have them tell you the city & address (and phone # if possible). Call
that store. Ask if they really have any. If they do, either drive there or make
arrangements to get it shipped. Best of luck.
One store manager I did this to, gave me the weirdest look... "you go around
quoting UPC numbers ?" <lol>
