I'm surprised. The last time I was at FTW at Tuttle, they seemed to be
about 6 months behind on set releases...but with excellent stock of sets
up to three or four years old. I bought Stone Tower Bridge and Indy
Storm up there late last year when they were having a BOGO sale (at the
time, no one else in town seemed to have any Stone Tower Bridge sets).
As for distance, do what works for you. It's a little farther for me to
go up to Tuttle (I live near the south end of Sawmill, just off
Henderson), but traffic is indeed thinner up there (except during rush
hour). But then again, TRU can be hit on a return sweep from ZB...and
then you can hit Meijer, Kohl's, and Target after that. (Of course, none
of those last three are the best in town for Lego...Meijer on
Hilliard-Rome, Kohl's on Olentangy, and Target at Lennox all seem to be
better stocked on Lego.)
