(...) 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)

I would like to thank you all for the good reasons you gave me for purchasing these two sets. I contacted LEGO and they said that besides the Space Shuttle is no longer built, they still have a few sets for sale, so I decided to buy it in a local (...) (26 years ago, 2-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
