| (...) I ordered it months ago from LEGO Shop at Home. They told me it was on 'back order' but I knew it just hadn't been released yet. It has 578 pieces, and cost $109 from S@H. I think the retail price will be closer to $99, though. HTH! -- David (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics)
