In my case, in 2 of the 3 BBs I have gone to, they just let me have them,
and the one store had no problem with me taking 5 of one set.  I'll be back
there tomorrow ;-)

They're cheesy little Freestyle sets, but better than the McD's CRAP.  And
I want several complete sets before I rip open my extras for parts.

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? ;-)

Hrmmm, are there pictures of these up anywhere?  I called and the BB
closest to me does not have them and hasn't, but they said another BB
in town did.  Something about franchises (here anyway) not getting
their shipments even though the corporate-owned stores did.  So I
might swing by tomorrow and take a look.

I doubt I'd rent a kids tape to get one, but if they can be coerced to
either give them away or do the deal with adult movies I'd get a few.
Wait, by adult I mean non-kid movies.  I don't think BB carries
"adult" movies, do they?
