I called both Krogers in Crawfordsville earlier tonight. Both said that they
don't have any LEGOS. That's bad news, but I don't consider it a big loss after
the red tubs I've bought at Toys R Us and the 4562's I've bought at Walgreens.
I was sort of kidding about that AFOL percentage thing. I do, however, believe
that we make up a large percentage of the buyers of all of these recent sets
with the random pieces. Maybe the recent success of these types of random piece
sets will prompt LEGO to release boxes of "factory floor sweepings". ; )
