THey have been found in Phoenix to. I went to one of the Walmarts near my
house and found theses sets. Oh yeah I wanted them. So I went to the
register and the person at the counter took the set from em and said we can
not sell it to you. WHAT! I went and talked to the manager on duty, he was
unavailable, so I talked to this floor agent who was wearing the legendary
vest. She saw the sets and said that if they are on the floor then they
should be in the computer.
I was about 10 seconds from talking her into letting me get the sets at the
price of the walker set, but then the other person at the gun desk noticed
that they were of the new starwars sets and told her that they can not be sold.
Man that really bites. Guess I will have to wait. Any one know what the
release date is?
