As a (slightly off-topic) side note, I looked up K-Mart's cost for all
the SW sets today.  My only public comments will be:

--I was surprised by our actual cost.
--We make the same % profit on all of the (1999 SW) sets, to within .5%.
--Having the double sale is really cool.  _Really_ cool.

Requests for further info will go to /dev/null.

I think on Saturday I will check to see if any of the Y2K SW sets are in
the 'puter yet.  Just for kicks.

Ben,

I'm curious about one thing, and I think you're in a position where you could
check this out.  It seems the price point on all of the SW Legos sets are
similar to the non-SW sets, which is perfectly understandable, except that TLG
has to pay Lucasfilm a licensing fee.  I was wondering if TLG itself was taking
a smaller profit from each SW set as compared to their non-licensed set.  Maybe
if you could compare Big K's profit from SW sets to non-SW sets we'd then know.

Thanks,

Kevin
