Entire sets. They had a small table set up in the back of the store, near
the LEGO aisle with a few news sets on display (7143 Jedi Starfighter, 7119
Twin-Pod Cloud Car, 7163 Republic Gunship, and a 7153 Jango Fett's Slave
I). We elected to buid the 7143. We should have done the 7119 because we
ran out of time (I had to go back to work since I ducked out mid-day and Mom
was ready to go). We built most of it and left the rest to another group.
The TRU employee said that the built sets would be sent back to the
manufacturer for credit. If I had had the day off, we would have been knee
deep in 7163 ;-)
