This is certainly good news but it will probably have a detrimental affect
on my BrickBay store. ;-)
I was at the Orlando LIC this afternoon where they had all of the sets that
Brad mentions (Dino, Castle, Soccer) in his post. Prices at the LIC are
$5.49 for the castle and soccer sets, $2.99 for the Dino sets. I bought a
set of the castle sets (to put on BrickBay, I am not ashamed to admit it)
and I got the last copy (on the shelves who knows what else they had in
stock) of one of the sets, I don't recall which one but I think it was the
one with the skeleton.
