For once, being away in Europe will have its significant
LEGO advantages! :) I'm ordering, bigtime; most of the
new packs are AVAILABLE (including the garage door bits),
I called and got verification of inventory.
But Lawrence is wrong about it being "just the old accessory
packs". Read on...

Some are the old accessory packs. Some are accessory packs
we've not seen in four or five years, including the one with
Black Falcons Castle items! What's more, there are a lot--in
relative terms--of items that are completely new assortments,
including transparent bricks (albeit with some windscreens :( )
the 5x6x2 inverse-low-slope in trans-yellow, a 1x2x2 ladders
pack, and more.
The downside is that you must fully enlarge the pictures before
the quantities appear printed on them. They don't look like
a very good deal until you do.

With 9 white, one blue door panel, and 14 red 1x2 grooved bricks
and two red "top beams"! A complete assembly, for UKP 2.79 ea.

They may still be producing inventory. Production cycles don't
always mesh perfectly, and they may be there simply for people
to add to their want lists now for fulfillment later.
