I hope it was o.k. to blow your cover... I only used your first name, in case
you wanted to remain somewhat anonymous.
I was going to say that I had met a 'nameless, but very friendly' adult LEGO fan
at a Toys 'R Us, but that just sounded weird. :)

I didn't know that! But I do know that since I met you that day, I've already
been back for two more rounds of shopping at Toys 'R Us. So I'm not sure if
this is good news... or bad. :)

So a couple questions:
a) Most important... do you like the set? Does it look like it's going to be a
good build?
b) Were there a few left?
c) Did you get the feeling they were going to continue to sell it at that
price, or that this was a one time thing they had done? Just curious about
whether or not to make the drive tomorrow.

That would be nice. The Falcon looks like a very cool little set, but felt a
bit overpriced.
