This is a relatively rare set (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.castle)

(...) Good lego sets, especially boxed, are still rare at car boots though. Whilst there's always lots of toys on offer - and collectable ones like beanie babies, corgi, etc - there is typically not much lego (down here anyway) - Certainly never as (...)
