I've seen sets showing up in quantities at Fred Meyer's, Kmart's, and TRU's. And that's from Renton to Burien to Kent and Auburn. I've heard that Wal-marts will be putting ALL sets out on May 3rd or 4th. I think there is going to be so many sets (...) (27 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.wa.sea)
