*grin* I suppose that I could go all the way to Corvallis to check the Fred's
there... or I could stop at one (or two or all five) of the ones I pass on the
way to work; it depends on how much time I'm willing to invest in looking.

It looks like the nearest Shopko is in Salem, which is not _that_ far away. I
suspect that I'll find plenty of them on sale when I make my monthly trip to
the local TRUs (I usually hit 4 of them in one Saturday). I have to start
hitting the Freddy's nearest my house more often, though it's a small store
and never has much of a LEGO stock.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a cheap 6083; I saw four or five of them at the
Lloyd Center TRU last month; hopefully they will clearance it soon.
