Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's so difficult (nearly impossible) to
find set 5909? It's the set with the tan bi-plane with white wings and a • little
jeep-truck thing. I've managed to collect every other adventurers' set from
1998 except this one. I have not been able to find it in any stores or even at
Lego SAH. Is this just because of where I live (Northeast USA)? Any help would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

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?

In the UK, this set was a Toys R Us exclusive set, one of the only such sets I
can recall, apart from a Divers floating lab... It retailed for around £13.99
($20?), but I don't think they have many about now.
