I just ordered two of the Ninja Fortresses, and up to one of the final screens
also had the Adventurers Zeppelin and Mummy's Tomb in my cart (I removed them;
they didn't get yanked by the web site). All three of these were accessible
from the Toys/LEGO search page (some people reported problems getting to the
Zeppelin from there), though I found no reference to the Sphinx Secret
Surprise.
I'm guessing that either the site was still being updated when the early birds
were accessing it, or the webmaster is trying to emulate the hit-and-miss
search methods one has to use in the physical stores.
