(...) Ask what? I've seen similar kits in the S@H catalog - those that say "buy these sets, get this one free", or "buy these sets, save $X". They're also numbered the same way. OTOH, Richard, it's up to you if you really *want* those sets. ;-) But (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Is that $180 the cost for all of the sets normally including the one that isn't specified in the text? Not a great deal but not a bad one either. I'd pass mainly because it isn't half off, but I know most people would consider it. (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.shopping)
