I found these sets today. In Ft Lauderdale. So if you are in the Ft.
Lauderdale area, they are out there!
I got to Ft. Lauderdale a bit early for my meeting today so took the
opportunity and stopped at one store on Sunrise near the Florida Turnpike
entrance and found six boxes on the top shelf.. I bought all six. I
stopped at another store near University and Sunrise and found a whole bunch
and bought another six. 12 boxes is about all I could carry home on the
plane with me as carry-on bagage or I might have bought more.
My first observation from my stop at these two Walgreen's is they have
waaaay more toys out than the Walgreen's back in North Carolina near my
house. Other than that, the only difference I noted was that both were 24
hour stores where as I don't think the one near me is but I'd be surprised
if that matters.

| (...) Mike, Glad to hear that you finally found some!! Did you notice that the ones you pulled from the same box/store had similar contents? Hopefully you got some variety at the other store. Eric (20 years ago, 4-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)
