Last month there were five monorails up for auction all at once, so the value dropped and the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| A polybag is any set released in a plastic bag, as opposed to a box. Several US-released polybag sets have non-US boxed versions (c.f. 6901/6902, and 6800/6816 are two examples of many).
