I remember someone posting a message about a month ago saying that LEGO was
going to recall the Ogel Control Center sets because of some picture on the box
that resembled a terrorist attack.  Soon after that I saw one in a store, and
sure enough there was a small cartoon pic of an explosion on a set of twin
towers.  I thought it would be silly to recall them since it was obvious that
the cartoon had nothing to do with the September 11 attack.
       Since then I've seen no indication that ANY store is pulling the set
from the shelves.  I've seen plenty of Ogel Centers in Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R
Us and K-Mart.  As far as I know the set is still readily available.

Seceral WMs that still had this on the shelf, were unable to complete the sale
at the checkout. The register showed 'SELL NOT ALLOWED', at which point they all
looked at each other and said "sorry, were not allowed to sell this".
