The Billund Archives have no information on this set, and it was obviously not produced there for the Danish market. But it (...) (11 years ago, 14-Apr-14, to lugnet.general)

| | What are the most valuable Service Packs?

I guess "rarest" and "most valuable" service packs can mean 2 different things. Now (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
