Well, I did indeed make it to the LEGO Outlet in Dawsonville today. Since I
was in Duluth I asked one of my co-workers who lives in Atlanta to get me to
Hwy. 400. I misunderstood the directions I got from one of my co-workers
and went waaaaaaay out of my way so it took me a while to find it. By the
time I got there it was already past the time I had set for a drop dead
departure back to the airport. But, I had to look around. I am sure I
missed a few things, if I was in the store for more than 10 minutes I'd be
surprised. They had eight (8) sets of 6318 Fences and Trees so I bought all
of them as well as a few other odds and ends - nothing I'd consider FOTW
material. Had to pick up a couple more 6550 Outback Racers because it is
one of my and my son's favorite sets.
Other things I noticed:
4559 ($105), 6278, 6281, 5542 ($33), 5533 ($51 - yikes), and some neat
non-brick stuff. I limited my non-brick purchases to a couple of coloring
books.
I can now see that I will need to visit our customers in Atlanta more
frequently than I have been!
My trip back to the airport was an adventure - Atlanta traffic is thick. I
can't think of any place here in the Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel
Hill) that has traffic like I saw today in Atlanta. Anyway, I was the last
person on the plane, made it with about a minute to spare. One of these
days I am going to miss a flight and it will probably be due to the fact
that I was shopping for LEGO.

| Glad you scored! I too noticed the Pirates and Islanders stuff, but I'm not really in to those series, so I passed. My big score yesterday was mainly technic, plus I picked up the last 5561 they had for $60. I had been coveting this set for a while, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
