Yeow -- Having a bad day, Tom?
We don't know for -sure- (like officially) that the SW bucket is for-sure
totally totally cancelled. Just that LSI in Enfield told retailers that it
was being pulled. TLG may still (God, let's hope!) change its mind, or
(bummer, but better than nothing) release it outside of the U.S.
Speaking of releases outside of the U.S. :) Soccer is a lot bigger of a
sport outside of the U.S., right? Isn't it fair to say that they probably
would have flopped pretty hard here? Maybe baseball of football would have
worked here.
Still, we can probably all agree that the soccer sets -should- have been
available via S@H at the very least.
