Yes, it was crazy. At the Ann Arbor TRU, there must have been 200
people. Fortunately, the Lego's were located right next to the entrance
aisle, so I was out of there by 12:26AM, but I somehow forgot to get the
sub set. UGH! I did get the duel, the Pod racer set, and the Naboo
fighter, and the Droid fighter. Also, they didn't have the Anachins
(SP?) pod or the Sith Infiltrator, pretty pathetic for TLG not to have a
few of the sets out. I saw only the forest speeder set from the Classic
series, it has been a strange night!
Another thing, I saw a lot of people got the SW Lego sets, most had a
few of the Lego sets, and a ton of action figures, and the like. I just
wanted the sets, so I pretty happy. Now to explore some other stores to
see if I can get the rest. Sigh...

| OK, I guess the question then is, has ANYONE seen Anakin's pod racer or bought it? Since I got two copies of all the others (except Naboo Swamp, if there is such a thing, same question, has anyone bought it?) I have the contents of that set via Mos (...)
