| Thanks Jeroen, If we get any Bulk Order results from TLG, I'll name a street in my Lego town after you (Jeroen Avenue?). I think that you may be right. Maybe we should skip Mr. Eio (USA President), and go directly to the top, KKK. I have printed the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| Two days ago a LEGO friend from Norway by the name of Arild found a never before been seen set from Norway... the 1309 ESSO GARAGE SET... not to be confused with the 1310/310 ESSO SERVICE STATION SET. This very rare (only 1 known so far) set was (...) (11 years ago, 13-Apr-14, to lugnet.general)
