Steve:
Thanks for the info. Two quick items:
* It might be also helpful to post this message in the lugnet.us.co.* groups so
that the Colorado folks that don't read this group will get the message.
* Just in case the Star Wars sets are not at all of the Walmarts, WHICH ONE did
you get them from?

| For those who live in Colorado, you might want to check your local Wal Marts for Star Wars sets. During lunch, I took a trip to one of the Wal Marts close to work.
