I totally agree with you about the "markup" on the set. I also want to get one from the Portland LEGO Store. Remember we'll probably get a discount, AND there's no sales tax in Oregon! It also has a price-per-piece ratio of less than 7 ¢ (USD) each. Compared to other similar sets, such as ...

Hi all,
10182 - Café Corner and 10183 Hobby Train are now available for order.
