(...) So Dave, which location(s) have the best selection? My wife works in the Valley, and I'd like to pick some of that stuff up, if it is still available. At the very least, I'd like to know which stores to check in the future! Thanks! Conrad (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

You may be right Frank! I've heard a number of stories of these sets dissapearing at the last minute. I can't believe there is that many AFOLs in these areas that I'm not familiar with.
