I'm a little bit longer than just got back from TRU (I just finished
building the Droid Fighter...)

My TRU (Cary NC) had the Duel, Droid Fighter, Gungan Sub, Naboo Fighter, and
the Pod Racer Set (missing the Sith Fighter and Anakin's Pod Racer). They
also had some of the Ep 4-6 sets, but again not all (X-Wing, Snow Speeder,
Speeder Bikes, no Land Speeder or Y-Wing/X-Wing).

I was impressed, the lines were quite reasonable (I waited for one
customer).

It was amusing watching all the people lining up all their Kenner figures in
the side aisles trying to make sure they had all of them. I'd love to know
how many of these people were scalpers, with piles of multiples of each
figure. At least no one seemed to be scalping the Lego (of course I picked
up 2 of a couple of the sets for parts).
