Yeah, unfortunately so. Costco is a frickin scam, but one I'm unfortunately
addicted to with my family. It's something to do with the 3 pound pies, the
giant strudels etc.

Well, unfortunately, I think Mario forgot to mention 400 and 7 is out of
8466's. By the time Mario got his last week, there were only four, of which
one was really complete-we spent 30 minutes (and yes, if you've ever seen
two grown people trying to debate whether or not they see three green
fairings in an obscured polybag, then dig behind skids of it was really
quite hilarious) piecing together one full set out of various parts, so
unfortunately this latest $49 news is only good for those who already went
and got them beforehand, to get a refund on the difference.
