Probably no real harm done, and how are you Northerners to realize that
we would have 80-90 degree (Fahrenheit) temps this weekend (and that my
AC would not be doing very well).

Part of the problem is that I mentally overlooked the various items I
have managed to get, though I think I heard some rumors of the 4 set
series being available in the US. I happened to have a set because Mike
Walsh picked them up for me on a recent trip to Sweden.
Overall though I think it's a good thing that the promo box is losing
it's ability to be appealing. It means that there is much better
distribution of the promo sets.
I know I'll find something to trade, and the box can survive at least a
few hops after me (and some US folks might like the stuff I put in
also).
