Hi:

At our local Zany Brainy I called the day I got there and they had 12.
I got one, but havent checked back.  I still havent seen any of the
Expansion Sets, but have heard that the Mars Exploration one will have a
digital camera in it.

Just wanted to post to the board to see if it worked for me.

I picked up the MS kit at TRU  (Kenwood-Cincinnati) this weekend.
They held it for me because I filled out a raincheck several months ago.

They said this was the only one they got, and they may not get anymore
before Christmas!

It looks like Lego's talk about a shortage of sets may not be marketing
ploys after all!

Has anyone else had problems getting the set.
