(...) Dave, Your best bet is to get a scan included in the PICSL that is hosted on Peeron. I think the catalogs are still offline, but hopefully they'll be back in action real soon. dave (21 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hey Brendan, I've got no official word, but the word from Brickfest (which I was not at, so this is second-hand) was that these will be in TRU stores in October. I still think they will also be available through S@H, so I think "TRU exclusive" (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I've been away on vacation for a couple weeks and a little out of the loop. Does anyone know if/when the Viking line will be available in the US? I searched for info on Lugnet but didn't find much.
