Best regards,

This is something I've been debating about.  The only 2004 sets I've bought so
far are the x-pods.  They are just way too cool to pass up, new color or no.  I
have not integrated them into the rest of my collection though.  I've kind of
started a separate "x" collection. hehe

I've been bugging stores in my area to find out when these will be in stock.  So
far I'm being told April at the earliest.  I am giddy about these little things.
They just look like so much fun.

They are! (I got a set at Burlingon Mall in MA last week, and another red one
just last nite at Mall of America in MA)

been clearly built into them, but also the low price point?

Nope, you aren't.

Nik is agonising over whether to buy the set off me outright or wait till his
birthday in a month and I seriously think buying is going to win out.... the
entire set of 4 is under 15 bucks, with tax, in most US tax jurisdictions. Is
that cool or what.

The only downside is that you can't get the geeky linktogether carrying strap
that the UK guys got.

(...) Wouldn't it be nice if this became a strong seller.... even for a couple of years? Maybe some Bionicle-like sales figures.... only with system pieces instead of theme specific parts. I'm not knocking Bionicle (I own a few) but rather I'm (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
