I cannot believe it, but it is true.

I get home to see the Sears Wishbook. And just like I always do, I opened it up
to the back and look at the toys. I think, what exclusive LEGO sets do they have

I could not find any LEGO at all in the catalog!!! Not one set!!!

So I checkout the website and to my horror, No LEGO!!!

they have one LEGO reference that points to a MB set.

What the heck is going on?!?

Say it ain't so!!!

I will be the one in the corner curled up in a ball crying.

(...) Gee, I thought the Wishbook disappeared when Sears ended (most of) their catalog operations in the early 1990s. (It always seems to me that if Sears had waited 5 years and had a little insight (OK, 2 big ifs) that they could have preempted (...) (17 years ago, 30-Aug-07, to lugnet.loc.ca)
