To be honest, not much. Just enough to fill up one of those "end shelves", it
wasn't on the main lego wall, and i only spotted them as i turned around to
walk back out. But there were still a few of each set left.
The way these are priced though, they'll need to stock a lot more, they'll go
out fast!.

Judging by the trains last night. I think Cityrail like to move their trains
about as quick as grandstands move. The Tangara's purely a conceptual thing
for me to learn how to use LDraw + rendering etc.. Although once Lego Direct
lets us buy bulk blue and white bricks, the XPT will have to be looked into.
