I'm guessing you went there early Digger. Didn't see those items on sale. I did manage to get some truck mini-sets I've been wanting for a long time (7223, 4911) and that mini jeep/hummer (7602) and I finally have an italian chef mini-fig with that ice cream piece.
Thanks for the thought Fungal. The set was just a little too pricey when it released at $60 for it's size, now it's totally slipped my mind and I wasn't even aware it was on sale. I might hunt the TRU's around here and see if there's a the lone straggler hanging about behind some newer sets. You didn't manage to find the Aqua Raiders base or the smaller sets?
Just got republic cruiser 7665, republic attack shuttle 8019 and a bag of soccer lego from trash and treasue
Ask and ye shall receive:
Found these at a TRU way far from my usual hunting grounds. The base had a damaged box so it was reduced to $89 from $119. Just need the Angler Ambush set (on its way) and I'm done with Aqua Raiders II. Incidently, new 2009 Indy sets have been sighted at a Kmart which incidently has 15% off Legos.
Great goings with the acquisition. I've ran out of room and am dismantling most of my Lego. Got a few hundred zip lock bags and storage bins and started. Sore fingers prevent me from doing too much at a time. I've had to make room (Thanks to TF figs) and they were gathering way too much dust. Am only leaving my Agents and Mars Mission sets on display. Oh, and the Technics as well, because bugger if I'm going to try an dismantle them.
The indy sets haven't really grabbed me bar the great cars and jeeps. Will check out and see what sets are out.

I'd say 3/4 of my Legos are in ziplock bags. I go through phases and display whatever happens to be the "in" theme at the time. Like when the new Mars Mission sets came out, my shelf was all Mars Mission. The Agents came out and that became the display item of choice. Now, in order to show a bit more variety, I tend to mix it up so I have say 2 of the best sets from each theme. At the moment though, I've broken that rule and Aqua Raiders and Castle is hogging the limelight. If I had a spare room, I'd set up the ultimate diorama - all my classic space sets mingling with each other *homer drool*.
Newly acquired sets:
Ferrari Finish Line and Scuderia Ferrari Truck
Scuderia Truck in comparison to Agents Truck
nice!
