Hmmm I'm sensing a pattern. I, too, just returned from 2 different TRUs
(Bloomington and Burnsville) and found no Anakin's Pod racers, and only 1 Sith
fighter (which Larry P quickly snatched up:-/) Most were there for the <shudder>
non-Lego stuff and that was all the better because the line was healthy by the
time we got there (1+ hour early). Saw other familiar faces and ran into some
GMLTC members as well. All in all, it was a festive occasion. All I could think
about was, it's good to be George Lucas;-) He's gonna be richer than Larry P!
