Stopped by KMart (Belleville, IL, east of St. Louis) on the way home from work today, mainly to check to see how long their "Buy One Get One 1/2 Price" sale was going to last (it ended yesterday, doh!). And today they have about SIX of these on the (...) (23 years ago, 25-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

It is being recalled. However, these things take time. Stores that are well run have already pulled them. Stores that are less well run will eventually pull them.

James & All, (...) Right, but as we have been saying this kind of statements here on LUGNET, for the last few years, and the fact they are still making questionable sets and themes, it seems a little far fetched. I think the day of generic themes (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)
