Track that kid down and tell him to get to Kohl's! Strangely, they've had the
Fire Mountain set for about two months (though at 120% of MSRP!)
I've had a few similar experiences overhearing kids opting for Dragons sets
(or MB sets in general) in preference to what they perceive as undesirable LEGO

these--I'm not a big fan of the action figure motif anymore, and these do indeed
seem too juniorized for my tastes.
If you (or anyone else) should happen to spot the new ProBuilder sets
anywhere, please let us know!
Dave!
