Hi, I'm about to purchase a Fort Legorado. And no, not the new 2002 version #6762. (URL) talkin’ the old-skool original issue. The 1997 #6769!

Just a question? (URL) about to drop *$172.50 Canadian on a 6762 Fort Legoredo. I know this is comparably cheaper than buying from Shop@Home, but does anyone know if a better price exists.
