Woohoo! I'll be ordering 1 of each, although I already own an 'original' Gas
n' Wash Express.

I am glad to hear/read that this is again a 'global' release.

Nah, you've just given us other things to speculate about. :-) We are like
that, we like to speculate about other 'classic' releases, the july-surprise
(will it be available all over the world?), etc. That's what LUGNET is all

Keep up the good work and don't mind the (few) negative comments/posts you
see here. It's human nature to hope for the best and expect the worst. But I
must say, I am getting more and more positive about the Lego
Company/Group/Firm/Whatever! And my bank account seems to *not* agree with
me :-)
