Yeah. I'd sold them short before as I'd said. I'm not sure I'll think of them
as my first option when shopping but it seems like they're trying harder
now......

Being a stones throw from Meijer @ Hilliard/New-Rome, they tend to get my
primary stop anymore, if and when I can find the money to go looking. I
haven't been to the Meijer @ Sawmill recently, (Not since we moved from
Sawmill @ West Case a year ago) so I don't know what their selection is. I've
never really found that they were that good, so I'd probably agree that the
Hillard one is better. The only sets I've gotten from ZB were my only Train
(don't ask me the number. I dunno. Its the one with the loading cranes and
the cement mixers and the red/black engine. THERE'S a technical description.
heh) and I think one of the UFO sets they had on sale.. or maybe it was one of
the Aquanaut sets. whichever... I've just found they seem to be more expensive
than TRU or any where else when I've compared. Haven't tried Kohl's, but we
rarely shop there which explains it.
