*All* sets soon available?

This seems odd.

At a Wal-Mart in Mesa, AZ,  they had only two snowspeeders left.
But the shelves were cleared, and the store price/inventory labels were applied
to them for all of the following:
Naboo Starfighter 7171 $19.97
Anakin Pod Racer 7131 $14.97
Naboo Swamp 7121 $9.97
Sith Infiltrator 7151 $29.97
Gungan Sub 7161 $48.88
Mos Espa Pod Racer 7171 $89.97

Those empty spaces were in addition to the already released
x-wing/tie/speeder/etc.  labels.  Of course, I tracked down an employee and
asked if they _actually_ had them.  He replied that they all must have sold,
and more would probably come in soon.  And I got a brush-off at my request to
check the stockroom. :-(

So, has anyone else seen this type of store prep?  Have these sets actually
been released - or did they just goof?

(...) I've seen the two trailers and a brief look on several Star Wars sites, but I don't know what kind of vehicle is meant by a 'Pod Racer'. Does anybody know or have an educated guess? Eric (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Big goof! I don't see them coming out until May, or when the movie comes out. Excellent trailer BTW! Scott Sanburn Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 20-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars)
