Well I am jsut on the other side of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin and we have no
new legos.  I am in Kenosha just 60 miles north of Chicago.  I am about ready

no new sets!!!  One disgruntled lego fan here!

I'm here in Philadelphia, PA and I went searching today with the recent
sightings in Michigan. However, there aren't any out yet. The TRU's here also
have empty shelves but they gave me the same excuse they've been giving me for
weeks, i.e. "Uh, we don't know anything . . ." with the tone that says that
they might be able to tell me something but they don't feel like it.
   So . . . what I want to know is this: Has anyone seen any 2000 sets
anywhere other than a Meijer's (which we don't even have out here)or in a
state other than Michigan (or any other country, at that)? Just curious . . ..

Thanks,

I'm up in Allentown, and I too searched a number of stores today, including
Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Bradlee's, Ames, Kohl's, Toys 'R' Us, KB Toyworks, and Zany
Brainy.  I found no 2000 sets at all.  I did get word from the LEGO rep at
TRU that they should be in by the end of the week, and she also said that they
shouldn't be available anywhere before that.  I of course pointed out that
they are available in a number of places in the midwest and she had little
to say about that.

(...) Oh, come now. I have been buying the new sets for the model year since I can remember. Meijer and TRU always put the new sets out because they run out of most LEGO the last two weeks and they want the cash to keep on flowing. She should know (...)
