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.

I am right in between you two, near Montgomeryville.  I checked 2 wal-marts, 2
k-marts, 2 ames, 1 TRU, and 1 Target.  Nothing yet.  I am going to check my
local Kohl's (And hope they are not overmarked) today.

Success!! I don't know how close the two of you (Mike and Rob) are to Philly
but I managed to find some sets at my local Walmart. They had a decent
selection of SW, but not much of anything else:

-Technic Battle Droid and Pit Droid
-B-Wing, Slave I, Flash Speeder
-only one castle set, but the number escapes me. It was a very small one
(about $5 or so)
-a special artic set -- it was two sets with some sort of plastic baseplate,
all wrapped together.

Those were the only ones I found, but everything was in disarray. I tried
hunting, but I was kind of pressed for time.

Just thought that I'd let a couple of Pennsylvania guys (and anybody else
that chooses to read this) that 2000 sets should be on their way!
