Soory, I forgot to post seeing them. I wnet shopping to TRU on Saturday
morning. They are both in the Ann Abror, Michigan TRU as well. They are both
in a very nicely detailed box, with a lot of details, and a great color shot
of them from the back. They also had the Aluminum, er, Millenium Falcon
(Inside joke) as well, all with nice packaging. Very nice display. I went
there to see if they had the 30% off clearance items, and they did. However,
the only LEGO clearance items left were the large Insectoid base / rover
thing. Ugh! They did have a nice video game special, buy 2, get one free, so
I picked up some games for Dave, my brother in law.
They also had the new Adventurers sets there, with the plane. It looks very
nice, with Gail Storm piloting it, no less! I need to pick that one up, I
like it.
Finally, on an interesting note, I saw a little kid pick up one of the
Megablock expert builder set, the blue jet, and then he ended up in line
with a Rock Raider Bulldozer instead. Hmm... what a choice. I would have
picked up the Adventurer plane for 20.00, but that is just me. : )
