(...) Chris, not wanting to sound rude, but did you open the front flap to find the parts list right there on the box before you decided to pay good money for it? Assuming you did, you obviously still felt the set was worth the price you paid, even (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX) !
