Okay, I'm in Northern California. I wiped out the Poolside Paradise stock at
the stores at Vacaville Factory Outlets and Natomas Station Factory Outlets
(Sacramento). Only Vacaville had the Dark Forest set, and I only saw the buckets
at Natomas (but they could have been at Vacaville-- I was just too excited about
the Paradisa sets to look!). The clerk in Vacaville said they had just gotten in
a giant shipment last week and she was surprised that there wasn't a LEGO sale
planned. Another clerk told me that it takes several days to get their
shipments out of the back room and onto the floor. I try to check Toy
Liquidators at least once a month to see what they've got, so I know they didn't
have old supplies of 6416 lying around. Since the stock of this TL has pretty
much paralleled what others have posted on Lugnet, I would be surprised if other
stores didn't get the same stuff. I would definitely hit the stores this
weekend. Let us know what you find!
