|
| (...) Just to say it, that is the approximate price I have paid during the last year for both MISB copies of that set. If it used to go for $200, well I guess the price has dropped. Frankly, I wouldn't pay a lot more than I have on these sets. You (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| Interesting..... Only yesterday I opened a 25 years old 396 and had the same thing: bricks were incredibly stiff. There were no blue 2x4's, but lots of other blue, and no sign of yellowing.
