(...) On a side note, at COSTCO, they are selling an actual chest (18"x18"x36" {approx}) of Dragons for just under $80. The set includes 9879 (Vorgan Ice Fang) and 9889 (Portal of Fire).

I can't find anything online yet, but my local Target had two copies of set 98001 Fire Ghost Dragon on the shelf. It's one of a series of four sets, judging by the pictures on the box.

Today we got "clarification" from a stock analyst that Lego has Spider-man movie rights through 2007 from Sony. Mega Bloks contradicted this, saying Lego's contract is up in 2005 and that Marvel makes the decisions. (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
