(...) Hi, as you remarked, the color cheme seems to be inverted in both sets. However, by checking peeron the inventories of both sets are quiet different, too. And #7012 has 70 pieces less than #4098. But what i would be interested in is if the box (...) (21 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) But, 7212 is not a new set, it came out at about the same time as 4098. They are very similar, but 7212 was originally an airline exclusive. The previous airline exclusives, have AFAIK all been smaller sets so there must be some reason for (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

why did Lego make a repeat of set 4098 high flyers, with the new 7212 sky squad? I'm not complaining, as high fliers was one of my favorite designer sets; so more of the same is great. actually i still play with that set alone (it's so fantastic by (...)

FUT: lugnet.dear-lego It'd be nice to see a re-release of 8448. It's not very old, but it's already up in the $300 price range. That's a little high for something that sold at retail for only $130.

Looks to me that it's a good thing it's a common color so I can get a somewhat decent heap of it. Not that I don't prefer classic gray but if I'll need to restock a new/changed color I prefer if it's common. (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
