Thanks for the warm welcomes. Again, an amazing site!!

Santhor, Hope you check the forum often because Amazon.com in the States just listed the Winter Toy Shop at the regular price... $59.99 plus it ships free. Hope you can get one before they sell out. Computershopper

As my husband always makes me say after a trip to the local Toys r Us.... "hello, my name is Lee-Ann and I'm addicted to Lego!!". After lurking in the shadows for months I've decided to join and post on the site. Like many parents who played with it as a kid, I rediscovered Lego through my two girls but have quickly become obsessed with it and my interest has surpassed theirs. I am mostly interested in city and trains. I managed to get my hands on some 9v trains (4511,4559 and 4563),some manual crossings and 100+ pieces of track for cheap (all for $150) through local classified ads and I was instantly hooked. Prior to this I wasn't even aware Lego made trains... silly girl. Through the use of amazing sites like Eurobricks I was able to see what is available and what talented people are able to do with lego!! My ultimate goal is to make a town layout as inspired by some fellow lego fans. I visit the site often and am thankful for people's review and willingness to share their knowledge and insight. Thank you for such a great site!!! Computershopper

Yes, it was Walmart and Target in the States, online only for both. I live in Canada but get a friend in Florida to purchase things for me that I can't get here (or are insanely overpriced.. as they often are). Good luck with your hunt. I'm sure it was one or two people who bought large quantities of the toy shop on Target for it to sell out so quickly, less than 15 minutes after I received the email. Too bad they don't limit these things. Thank you for the welcome, impressed with the wealth of information and enthusiasm! I've rediscovered Lego through my girls, now I'm addicted!

I just bought one earlier this week from Walmart.com. They were the regular price ($59.99). They have sold out already but have it listed as "new" so I'm thinking more will be coming. Target also had them, again out of stock. I signed up to be notified when restocked. I recieved notice last Sunday but by the time I tried to place my order they were sold out again. Keep looking, I'm sure both will be restocked soon, though I don't know where the supply is coming from.
