Apparently one night after closing, a fire started (speculation is that
a bulb was too close to some boxes or some such) in the storage area. A
great deal of the sets melted together, literally, from the heat. ALL of
them were smoke damaged. I have seen some of the melted bricks. Pretty
bizarre (although probably not art, per se :-) ). No comment on who
showed me.

I opine that you could smell the smell of burnt ABS in that whole end of
the mall for several weeks afterward.

Given the number of melted sets, my supposition is that the fire burned
for a while before it was suppressed. Given that they took basically
everything out of the storage area down to bare walls and dumpstered all
of it,  per hearsay, I assume everything was damaged.

I would tend to think that it was not as well supressed as the store.  I'll
take another look at the article on monday.
