(...) As of Thursday morning, there were 14 copies of 8480 at a local TRU. This number has been virtually unchanged for over a month. Too bad they're still at full price. :( Jeff (26 years ago, 1-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) The hoses you have received may have come from 6882 Walking Astro Grappler. (URL) 6941 *should* have come with yellow hoses w/ black ends. I would suspect that the seller substituted the hoses for some reason. Duane (26 years ago, 1-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

Yes, that would be sets 487 & 987 for the letters, and 488 & 988 for the numbers (the 400 series came in early/mid 60's, the 900 series came late 60's-early 70's). All of these sets were printed on 1x1 white bricks. I've got both of the number sets (...) (26 years ago, 1-Feb-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Hmmm. I have an old set of letters and numbers (incomplete now) that were stamped on the sides of white 1x1 elements. I understand about the need for a "pure" LEGO solution, but it's amazing what a bit of Letraset or even an inkjet printer on sticky (...)

(...) Hey Larry, We can split a set of these, if you'd like? I am working on building a few 1920's Movie Palaces, and these letters would be great for using on a large marquee.

Since I have both, I would say that the 8480 is better part-wise. Many more gears than the 8880, and the 8480 also has 2 motors. HOWEVER, if you have the choice right now, get the 8880 ... the supplies are dwindling fast (especially for an unopened (...) (26 years ago, 1-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
