Well, there is no way that the set will be left lying around with the trader.
I've already got two of these now so I don't feel the need for one more, which
is why I'm letting it known that one is available (otherwise I would've kept
it for myself). So rest assured it will enter the Lego community somewhere.
I was actually going to purchase it for myself to be honest, but Then i saw
the club car and as I haven't got one of these, thought it would be better
than a third croc loco.
Noones claimed it yet, so it looks like the world will get a chance at it
anyhow. Of course this is assuming that someone wont go and snap it up before
I get there on saturday morning. But the markets don't run during the week so
I should be safe.
