But while we wait, what about *real* Y2K sets?

1541 LEGO Militia.  Features camoflage minifigs, even though this militia
operates in LEGO town, making their choice of clothing a bit odd. Also
features all the firing cannon that DIDN't go into the regular US sets. 321
pieces...irrational ranting not included.

Any others? I know some of you can do better than this!

How's this:

Y2K Missile Command Base.  Comes with 20 Military Personel, all trying to
prevent the computers from launching all the Nuclear Missiles when the date
rolls over.  Can you, the Lego Maniac, reprogram the computers in time?  Of
course not!  Includes small explosive devices to destroy your neighbor's Lego
Town; not intended for children under 10.

Y2K Power Plant.  This nuclear plant has a Y2K glitch in its systems!  Can you
help the 12 technicians find and eliminate the problem before the plant has a
meltdown on New Year's Day?  Not a chance!  Includes small explosive devices to
destroy your Lego Town; not intended for children under 10.
