It was never released in a set in that color, although a few have made their way on to Bricklink from the Red Letter Days events in the UK. I need quite a few of these for a (...)

Perhaps we need a group on lugnet for talking about BrickShelf. One thing I don't particularly care for about BrickShelf is that when you upload a zip file that has something wrong with it (ie, spaces in the filenames) nothing shows up when you're (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-04, to lugnet.general)
