I noticed several "Not available in any stores" items at the FAO in Vegas
yesterday.  And yes, typical +20% markup on the pricing.

While in Vegas, I was able to get a 9731 Vision Command from the Discovery
Channel store in the Aladin Hotel for $25.  The same store in the Forum
Shops at Ceasers wanted $100.

Anyone else noticed that the Lego Shop at Home sculptures (Minifig, Dragon,
Statue of Liberty) are now available from ToysRUs.com? Not sure if they are
in the shops themselves. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, Lego
exclusives in stores.

The statues have been in-store at the FAO Scwharz in San Francisco for a
month or more.  I read a review of the new downtown NYC TRU opening last
weekend, which mentioned that at least the Liberty statue was in-store there
as well.

The FAO prices were horrendous, as one might imagine-- 20% higher than S@H.
Frankly I thought the muted black-and-white packaging looked terrible in a
colorful retail setting.
