Alright, who's the AZ resident who bought the Solar Snooper while I was
trying to get through??
The store owner was friendly, and just a bit surprised about the
interest these sets were getting. Apparently, he didn't realize LEGO
sets go out of production.
BTW, here are a couple of other sets they have:
TOWN
6444 [Outback] Outback Airstrip
SPACE
6896 [M:Tron] Celestial Forager
AQUAZONE
6155 [Aquasharks] Deep Sea Predator
For just a second, I thought they had a 6871, Star-Patrol Launcher, but
he had just mis-read a number.
Todd: Thanks for posting this!
