Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's so difficult (nearly impossible) to

PS I noticed in the 1998 catalog that it's the only Adventurers' set with a
July 1 release date . . .  does this have anything to do with it? Did TLG • ever
actually release it?


I have it and it's a great set.  I'm pretty sure it was just a 'limited
edition' type thing.  I saw it all at once at Walmarts & TRUs in MASS quantity
(end caps stuffed with 'em) late last summer, then watched their numbers • shrink
to nothing by Christmas, after which those that remained were put on • clearance.

Thanks, for the info, Kevin. From what I've seen and heard, it is a great set.
That's why I'm so upset that I can't find it anywhere. I also need it to
complete my collection. Maybe I'll give Lego SAH a call and see if they can
help me in any way.

(...) to (...) quantity (...) Amazon.com now has set 5909 available for $19.99. Better grab it soon, since I don't think they'll last. Kevin (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.adventurers)
