I hate to argue against a fellow AFOL, but I've collected since 1978 and I
have neither of the sets you mention. In those younger years, I was lucky
to get one copy of a small or mid-size set in those themes. So, my point
is, there are some in this forum who are in the market...

And I am in Western Mass, not a bad commute down I-91 to Enfield... I hope
you get the job, Dave, as I'd love to see new Classics myself. The one
problem is, IIRC, TLC only designs new sets in Denmark... A bit more of a
commute for us... =o :)
