Hello all! I'm somewhat new to the group(s), and I must say, lugnet is most excellent! I tried to follow RTL many years ago but just couldn't manage. I have to commend all of you on the high level of both quality and tone in these groups! Anyway, (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

Drat. I just called S@H, and the Diving Expedition Explorer, #6560, is no longer available. Double-drat. In somewhat better news, the nice S@H operator said there is some hope that they will be getting more Giant Model Sets, #8277, so I ordered 4. (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
