In the local mall, a guy selling LEGO from a kiosk was giving away set #3219
Mini TIE Fighter with any $20 SW LEGO purchase. When I asked him if he had
any of the other Mini SW sets he told me that they aren't supposed to sell
them until December 26th. (Side note: The guy at the kiosk was working for
Walden Books - go figure.)
Imagine my surprise then, when not thirty minutes later in Target I found
three of the four Mini sets on the shelves!
#4484 X-Wing and TIE Advanced (1/4)
#4485 Sebulba's Podracer (2/4)
#4487 Jedi Starfighter and Slave I (4/4)
There was only one copy of each, and I couldn't find the fourth set #4486
AT ST and Snow Speeder anywhere in the store. (Believe me, I looked.)
I think Target goofed and put these out earlier than they were supposed to.
They weren't recognized at the price check station, and I had some, shall we
say, "Imperial entanglements" at the checkout. But in the end, they sold
them to me for $7.99 each.
They look like cool sets but I think I like Todd's X-Wing better. Too bad I
couldn't get #4486 because the AT ST looks like one of the better models in
the series.
Guess what I'll be building tonight..?

| (...) I had the same experience today in Detroit--Target had the MINIs. I didn't see the podracer set, but I wasn't really looking for it. I got the other three. (30% off some of the older SW sets was worth my money more than the podracers). (...) (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)
