That's right, I was just trying to see if it was a new part or not. It is
one of those, darn, I missed it sets.

Indeed. I think Todd is sleeping right now, isn't he? I really don't know if
it is or not, but until we know for sure, I am going to assume they are
real. It would be nice, however.

Yes, like I said, if it is real, it is an early production run anyway, much
like those SW sets (The X Wing, etc.) I know for sure that if these are
real, most of the LUGNET group would buy enough of these sets to keep TLC in
the black, along with the other items like SW and Mindstorms. Let's hope TLC
is learning! : )
