There might be a mojor difficulty in getting any SW sets at TRU from
their first shipment. It is a common problem with SW toys in general,
especialy the 4" figures. In my area at least, finding a new SW figure
is not possible at TRU until second shipment, this is becuase the
employees buy the entire loads before the store even opens. This same
thing could happen with the SW sets. A buddy of mine works at K-Mart.
He said he will grab 3 complete sets of SW Lego the day they come out.
If every employee did that, K-Mart's first load of SW Lego would run out
before the store even opened that day. I have heard stories from this
buddy of mine of SW collectables dealers comming into the store and
asking the employees to buy SW toys for them with an unfront payment to
the employee (he saw one guy make $100 just for grabbing 3 boxes of
figures). This might just occur with the SW Lego too. Let's hope not
or many of us will get mighty frustrated.

| (...) But unlike the sheep who go to the flea market and pay 5 times retail for something the scalpers bought the day before we intelligent AFOLs can just wait for the next shipment, right? After all, you star wars fans waited 20+ years for this, (...) (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
