I'm in for a set. And As excited as I would be to get a second set, I think I would rather draft remainders. Having the full set would be cool, and then having a bunch of one kind, like a whole row of cheerleaders, or a bunch of cavemen would be cool.

Given the price, if I ever have the chance, I would buy 2+ boxes just for myself. I'm sure the club could collectively consume 10 boxes and it might be worth it for us to ask a LEGO rep if we can order 10. Or maybe ask the Bellevue store if they sell us 10

While the Ninja is cool to have multiples (can never have enough Ninjas), I'm not sure what Lego was thinking of putting the Diver and the Crash Test Dummy as the other two that have multiple remainders in a sealed box. Hopefully they'll choose wiser in Series 2.

The Bellevue store is not sure the have ordered enough cases to please the staff's own wants. I don't think they will be much help. :D

Count me in for a set. I go to the US usually once a month, so may be able to get a few boxes, if I see them.

Toy Story 3 sets are out in all the stores down there. Interestingly the recycling truck was 44.99 at Toys R Us and 49.99 at the Lego Store. AND all the Toy Story 3 sets at Toys R Us were the same price as Fred Meyer and Target. This marks the first time in a very long time that TRU hasn't marked up licensed sets by a few $ each.

PAB had tan 4X6 plates, tan 1X3 bricks, and tan 2X2 bricks. Also dark grey 2X2X2 crates. It is a good time to head down there!

Is the Emporium in stock there now Paul? I've been meaning to call them but don't see myself heading down there soon if they don't.

Hi Tim. They just had the Fire Brigade and the Emerald Night. No other large buildings, or Medievel Villages.
