found all the new sets at the Olympia, WA store ... an employee told me they were suppose to put them out during this week, but got them in on Friday and went ahead and put them on the shelves... no price gouging on these sets either, which was either a nice surprise or an error

these are now out in stores ... 4 cases left at the Tumwater, WA Fred Meyers

ah, thanks Steve, the review has great detail! ...the photos I took while building it ended up being too dark...

Appears the new 7985 Atlantis set continues to blur the line towards a Greek theme... nice selection of pieces, plus the excellent statue...

I can't recall which store the display was in... Walmart/Target/Kmart, maybe?

Will, sad to hear you are having to part with your figs. The couple hundred I was lucky enough to add to my collection from your auctions in '06 were a great addition to my collection. I'll be watching for the Bricklink inventory at the end of the year.
