Hi Geoff,
The European and Australasian version of this pack was a set series starting
from 800 to 812, I think.
The grey version was 805. I came across a store near me that still had a large
stock of this range of spares sets and of course grabbed the lot because in US
dollars the were going for about $4.00 each.
So if you come across these spares sets don't think twice about buying them.
They were released between 1986 and 1990 and any that are still around will
likely have prices from this timeframe.

| This is probably in the wrong group, but I was wondering, what is a '5145' ? I take it it is a group of gray pieces. how many? and what kind? And most importantly, how much do you pay? --Geoff -- James Brown <galliard@shades-of-night.com> wrote in (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
