If these are what I think they are, the Zany Brainy in San Mateo
(really, it's closer to Foster City, but who's counting?) has these in
stock.  I was ... unimpressed.

Will I get them anyway?  Probably.  :-)

I did only have a few moments to look, and I picked up the Castle one
to check it out.  I was hoping for nice building ideas, but that's not
really the point.  I'll recheck later and try to rate them on their
own (intended) merits.

I got the Mummy one last week. I am putting together a review which will
include a few snipits from inside.
The rest of my BaseplateBooks site is still in the works.
For now, I put some links to LEGO-related titles here:

I'll look forward to your review(s), Suzanne.  That should help
convince one way or t'other.
