Just following up with some observations about the sets. :-)

Some of the new 2001 sets are now on the shelves at Zellers!!!
I found the following sets at 2 stores in Guelph and Fergus

The prices shown are the regular price, but the sets are cheaper with the 20%
off sale that's on right now

Life on Mars
7312 T3-Trike $18.98

A nice little set.  The bubble canopy from the diver sets comes back in smoked
colour.  the blue-chrome visor plate that the astronaut has looks nice

7313 Red Planet Protector  $27.95

A reasonably good set, but the box picture looks better than the model itself.
It looks rather awkward when standing.  New colour that's a blue-grey used for
a number of the pieces.  New hose pieces are rather nice, they're a cross
between the old hoses that were on sets in the late 80's and those corrugated
hoses that showed up in sets the last couple of years.
The alien is definately an alien,  the torso and arms are the same as the
starwars battle droids, but with different legs and head.

Both of these sets look pretty cool. The 7313 has one of the new martian
minifigs and a neat looking walker!

Studios
1355 Temple of Gloom $9.99
A film set with johnny thunder a bit pyramid and a camera man
This is actually a neat little set.  It builds a archway with a collapsing
floor.  The camera man has printing on front and back of the torso.  There is
also some neat pictures in the instructions showing scenes from a "Jaws" type
film and a "Raiders of the lost Ark" scene.



These 3 were the only 2001 sets I found today.  I'll be puttin them together
tonight once I'm done drooling over the other sets that area in the 2001
catalogue. :-)
