I was looking in the LEGO isle of my local(1) K-Mart today when my daughter
called out "Bobleo Builder". I was quite suprised when I turned around to
see two of the Bob the Builder LEGO sets.

The sets were:
3273 - "Bob, Lofty and the Mice" - AU$30 (US$16)
3276 "Muck and Scoop" - AU$65 (US$36)

I have to say that I am very impressed.
The vehicles aren't one piece models. They come in individual pieces & are
therfore customisable :)
Bob looks lilke a regular Duplo fig, but with a nose. Wendy (3276) is the
same but with a pony tail.
The sets have lots of great pieces. The building in Set 3276 has tan & dark
grey pieces.

Are the Bob the Builder sets available in the US yet?
Does anyone have a link to some pictures?
I know they are in one of the latest S@H catalogues (can someone scan them
please?).

I also saw two other sets. A new brick runner set with a SPUD car (with a
battery inside) & a new Ball and Tube set.

(...) [I've trimmed the groups for my reply] Wow, I didn't think we were supposed to see these in Australia until September! Must get myself to a Kmart (I hope they're in Tas), my son is a big Bob The Builder fan and it's his birthday this weekend. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.loc.au)
