less than a month's wait now til this is released (yippee!)... as a brief update, DeepDiscount's pre-order price has gone up to $10.65, but shipping's still free, and it's still the cheapest place online to order it...

[pinkadilly]

[Clouseau]

i tried to get it at my Wal Mart the day it was released, but they didn't have it, so i had to order it online, and it finally arrived a couple days ago!

have to say, Olym-pinks wasn't much to talk about, but i still enjoy the other two quite a bit!
