Hi all,
    With the announcement of Lego recalling all the 6776 sets, I have been
checking out my local retailers to see if they still had any in stock.  The
local Target and TRUs still had some on the shelves, but the two Walmarts
had pulled theirs.  Then I was informed this weekend that the sets were back
on the shelves at Walmart.  I had to go check it out on my own since I had
just been there two days ago.  Sure enough, there they were...back on the shelf!
   This makes me wonder if Lego maybe cancelled the recall!  I wouldn't
think that Walmart would ignore Lego's recall unless they had good reason!
I may be wrong, but it got me to wondering!  Maybe it was just a temporary
thing!
   Does anyone know or has anyone heard?
Tom

I wonder if it was a recall or a withdrawl?
i.e did they recall it from retailers, or just withdraw it from their catalog.
In the UK, clearly it has disappeared from shop@home, but they haven't taken any of retailers shelves as far as I can
see.

I actually went out to my local TRU to see what all the fuss was about
yesterday. No sign of this set or the rest of the theme. Is there a  scan of
the suspect picture online anywhere? If the picture is offensive, just
e-mail me the URL.

Thanks!

Scott A

lawrence
