Fess up James....

I don't understand either why Europe...and elsewhere, get the shaft when it comes to exclusives and/or discounts. I don't think it's a policy within Lego, but maybe it has something to do with distribution and commerce laws. I don't know. I also skipped a lot of business and economic classes ;)
Ok, I'm done now.
No one will see THAT coming!!!
About insects? Sorry, but I don't buy into the the mutation makes an insect more attractive and helps in mating. It just isn't convincing to me. In higher level creatures I could see it happening, but not with insects. I don't think insects consider looks. I'm not convinced that insects have the intelligence to consider or evaluate attractiveness. Again, not a biology major, but I think insects mainly attract a mate via pheromones and smell. And, some insects lay eggs and they are fertilized later without mating. I just don't see a mutation benefiting an insect in the mating process considering the way they mate. :-)
If a set isn't selling, then it isn't selling.
I have come up with two possible outcomes.
1. It is true and will be available at 50% off
or
2. A memo went around to all staff at US Lego stores about playing a practical joke on the Brickset AFOL community. "Wouldn't it be funny to tell them that a 6 month old UCS set will be 50% off"
so 10% off is not even a discount :P
i won't be buying anything unless i see more than 25% off :P LOL ... may be wait till new year to buy any left over sets...
just bought 9515, 9500, 9450, and 7965 for $50+tax each :P .. wish they had more of 7965 :(
How come we have unearthed dinosaur bones/fossils from 65 million years ago, would you not expect that they would be buried a LONG way in 65 million years??
and
If we can unearth things from 65 million years ago, how come we have not unearthed much in-between? If birds are evolved from Dinosaurs, where is the evidence of the 'in between' stages? I want to see the bones/fossils for the creature that was 1/2 way between a T-Rex and a chicken! :-)
Firm believer in evolution, just not something I have studied and something that interests me..
Also they are big, and you would need to take in to consideration how and where something die's (I.e. conditions for successful fossils to occur).

As for fossils in between dinosaurs and now, we have plenty, but fossilisation is actually a pretty rare occasion. Environmental changes affect the likelihood of an animal becoming fossilised, and due to the huge climactic shifts when the dinosaurs died out, fossilisation was very unlikely until it stabilised out.
Now back to topic, just in case some are not aware, the May 4th Promo starts in store on May 3rd (tomorrow) in Europe.
