Thanks, Toki. I haven't bought any Adventurers stuff yet (only just got back
into this LEGO thing recently because of the Star Wars sets), but it does look
pretty neat. I really like the base "plate", and I want one of those
skeletons. Guess I'll break down and buy one of those discounted boxes...,
but not before closely checking to see if they've been opened! Don't want to
get cut out on my skel! :]

Yup, I work in Livonia, MI. I checked a local Target there once just for fun,
but pickings were slim and nothing was on sale. It was the first place I ever
saw the Technic S.W. Destroyer Droid tho...
I tried taking advantage of one of the on-line clearance sales, but I imagine
you've heard (experienced?) about how that WBStore thing went. That was my
first experience and I got shut out. Better luck next time I guess. The idea
was to have it shipped to my work address so I didn't get bled dry on shipping
charges, and then bring it home with me. The value of my order was so low
that I wouldn't have had to pay duties at the border, either. Oh well
<sniff>
Maybe that 5978 I found will cheer me up! :]
