Hi Greg,

Pat Linnero posted a message to rtl and Lugnet on the 13th August about all the
great sets that Busy Bee was possibly able to get. I must say that I was
surprised by the lack of discussion this info generated, but probably everybody
else was like me, praying that everyone else had missed it so we could buy up
big time.

I was pleasantly surprised with Pat for actually making the announcement.

I only found out about the Blue Hoppers, in particular, from a friend who
suggested I didn't have long to try to sell my own stock of them at $80.00
before the market would be flooded with them.

I'm just curious about this phenomenon.   Anyone know who found out first,
and how?   Who's our "patient zero" that started this frenzy?   Did they
find out by just a random call to Busy Bee?   Are you a Busy Bee regular
customer?   And just how many sets did we Lego fanatics gobble up?   Was it
really 300?

Just interested in the story behind all this...
