For all the physical stores that are closed in that airport, this kind of makes sense. Who is in charge of restocking it I wonder? Paula?

I’ve played this one and they add some neat features to combat to make it a bit more exciting than most games, though it is still mostly just mashing the attack button frequently.

It’s harder and has less give than ABS which is why only certain pieces are made transparent.

From what I have seen, they have continued construction, so my hope is that they will be able to polish everything up for their delayed grand opening.

The 15% off discount is nice, but the limits on it (no large Exclusive sets) makes it less desirable than just getting those same sets on sale at Target or Wal-Mart for often times 20% or better. Maybe make the discount 10% off and have all sets be eligible.
