Bizarro.
I'm in Bloomingdales (which is an absolute impossibility - I won't go near the
place and they don't sell toys) and find a bunch of old sets, including Castle
LEGO sets that never existed. One was a hidden outpost built with burps in the
back. The front was camoflauged by those green tree limb pieces. It had about
20 minifigs (chainmail and knights). When I asked about more minifigs, the
salesperson walked me over to an art print drawer cabinet. It was full of
minifig packages. They also had a bunch of incredibly high priced
exclusive/historic minifigs - like the maiden from Guarded Inn for $225.00.
Also found a bunch of window accessories boxes - they had about 200 windows in
them for $7.00.
Lastly, and this is the most bizarre, they had 2 storage case sets (545 6
compart cases using baseplates as lids). The cases were red with RED
baseplates as lids. Red baseplates - MARS anyone? They contained the usual
accessories except they also contained a bunch of castle minifigs. They were
$17.00. One had been opened and the pieces were loose. I decided against
buying it. I had second thoughts and went back to get it, but someone else had
it in their hands.
This is really strange. I never remember dreams.
No, I was not drinking last evening, but I may take care of that tonight:')
