Hi guys,

I have just bid on and won an eBay auction for a couple of Boston Redsox
minifigs.
(http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1652103744)

According to the seller, these figures are from a lego promotion that • got
cancelled. Does anyone have any further information about this cancelled
set?

I don't know if it is genuine or not - to be honest I don't mind because • I
collect minifigs and I like the look of it, but I was just interested in
knowing a bit more about it if anyone knew.

Hope you can help - thanks!

This is a little late, and probably not overly helpful, but I can say a • bit

given to me by someone who attended a Red Sox game in August 1999.

According to him they were giving them away (no baggies or set #'s, etc,
just loose) at the game, with no accounting for origin, other than "Lego"
signs here and there around the park that day; so probably a • Lego-sponsored
event? I'm not sure.

nod - my in-laws happened to be in Fenway park around then, and sent me
this:
