Some very interesting things I noticed. I picked up the Sith Infiltrator and
the Mos Espa Pod Race set today at Aims. They were pulling pallets out of the
back from a shipment. They were putting pallets of toys near the toy section
and in them were a couple lego cartons. There were two boxes in one pallet
that said, "Do not open until May 3rd" or something like that. I grabbed one
box and opened it. It was 6 pieces of Anakin's pod. This set was in the Pod
Race set so I didn't take one. I searched for quite some time among the other
pallets and found one that said 7151 on it. 2 boxes with 3 in each. I opened
it and took out a Sith Infiltator. There was nothing I could see on the carton
that said do not open. It rang right up with no problems and I took it to the
car. I came back in to ask if anyone could check in the back. They looked and
I said I think there should definately be some. So I went back to the 7151 and
started digging again. 7151 was on top of what appeared to be an unmarked box.
I shifted lots of stuff around until I found it had a lego symbol on it, but I
couldn't see any numbers. I slit it open and inside was the Pod Race set.
There was only 2 per box and they had 2 boxes. I asked if I could take one,
she said,"only if it doesn't topple this stack over" :) So off to the counter
I went. I went to the same register. They lady was like, "I can't believe you
just did that!" I was like "Did what" She said, if you rang them both up at
the same time, you would get the cheaper one at half off! I went back to the
car, brought back in the Sith and bought it again for 15 bucks! Anyhow, I was
looking at the other two pilots. Sebulba is a one piece figure that looks like
he is steering with his feet and stands on his arms. Gasgano has a white
minifig head and new special arms, very similar to the skeleton arms but with
an elbow. As I was leaving, one employee asked where I got those from. I told
them they are skattered around the floor all over the place. As I walked out,
I heard over the loud speaker. "Toys, call extension 17, toys extension 17."
Whoops. :)

| Town JR alert! Just opened the pod race set. Inside is three boxes, one for each pod! They have separated the pieces for each pod in their own boxes. Subulba's pod box takes up half the entire inside. Then Anakin's and Gasgano are in the other half, (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
