Well, despite long lines no bookstore I know of sold out of Harry Potter IV on
the first night. I saw the storeroom of one store immediately after they
closed, and I can tell you they had *plenty* left (although they did sell a
huge number).
Similarly, despite long lines no toy store I am aware of sold out of Episode I
Lego when they opened for "midnight madness". Then again, not every store had
every set- but it only took visiting two stores that night for me to be Episode
I complete (and all I needed at the second store was one set).
I'll admit, I was really paranoid about getting my hands on Star Wars sets.
Thanks to Lugnet, I was one of the first to get them that I know of (I mean
classic trilogy sets, here). But I never saw them short anywhere, really.
