Yes, but what is at issue is that the sets (certanly some of them!) are still
in the catalog, therefore it is reasonable to assume that TLG has the sets
still in stock (4561 for example)
It cheases me that they would do this, Tom & Larry, keep us informed as to what
they do/don't do. Consider that TRU online gave $100 in Gift Certificates for
delays in shipping of items...and you guys are getting a kick in the tush.
It was understandable when the co. in the UK did not accept the orders on the
decimal place orders...that was normal. But, these are advertised specials,
and they should have limited the supply if they didn't have them to sell.
