Hmmmm, I didn't buy THAT many of the set. And I bought them over the
weekend. I'll be calling tomorrow morning to verify that I am actually
getting what I ordered, and WHEN it will be in. I sure HOPE they have mine
reserved, and will be able to send them. Considering when I ordered them
the web site said they had 98 in stock, and after ordering them, the number
DID change, I will be upset if they say they are backordered.
But, uh, yeah, if I got the last of them, the price on some of those
subsets may have to go up (and if I part any out, Larry gets the hook
before I sell anything).
