   I think some of these sets were at Eckard's (drug store) this summer,
before the Wal-Mart Super Pack was released.   Is the Ninja set #1099?
These things have been showing up in the strangest places.  My guess is
these are being sold to retailers (or to a big distributor, more likely) who
don't have room to keep an entire inventory of Lego, and so they receive a
small supply of weird sets instead of normal sets.  I'd consider them
promos, since they aren't in the catalogs.

Or perhaps some creative individual is breaking down the WalMart sets
into individual boxes and then marking them up a tad.
