UPDATE.
Yesterday, out of the blue, our local Bb had the 3331 "plane" and 3333 copter in
stock, free, take as many as you want. So, uh, I did. Took near 20 of each, and
barely dented their supply.
NO posters up, and an employee said "this is the 2nd batch, we are already out of
the other 2 sets" or something to that effect, even though my wife NEVER saw the
first 2 sets.
SOOOO, anyone want to trade some 3331s and 3333s for some 3330s and 3332s? ;-)
