    8880 Super Car found in the warehouse Jake McKee
   All, A few lucky folks are going to be very happy this weekend... We just found a few (very few) 8880 Super Car sets in a corner of the warehouse. There seriously aren't many, so if you want one, you had better hurry. Since there are so few, we are (...)

     (...) I can't find it either. Where are we supposed to look? Where is the "source code" supposed to go? On another note, what happened to the Williams F1 car? I can't find that one either. I though it was available now. TJ (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.market.shopping)
