Duq,
I am glad to hear that the 396 sets was one thing that you did leave that store
in Germany with. I found 2 of those about 10/12 years ago in a German town
called Mittwitz near the former East/West German border. Actually I bought one
on 1989 and the other in 1992. It was still there.

| Interesting..... Only yesterday I opened a 25 years old 396 and had the same thing: bricks were incredibly stiff. There were no blue 2x4's, but lots of other blue, and no sign of yellowing. Since it's such an old set, there were no polybags.... Duq (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)
