Howdy,
I live in DeKalb, Il and found in our Wal-Mart a whole section of Shell
promotional sets from 1997.  The sets are going for $1.  I thought the • real
find among the bunch is that they are selling set 2556, the F1 Ferrari, • for
$15.  My questions are does anyone know why Wal-Mart is selling these • sets,
is it a national thing, and how did I miss the news?  I don't know if • this
is big news or not so I thought I'd share it with you all.

P.S. I picked up two of the Ferrari since they originally were released
before I came out of my dark age.

This would be interesting. I'll have to check out the one here Tommorw.
While I highly doubt I'll find anything since they were never released in
Canada, it's worth a shot. Do you check the shelves everyday? Just • wondering
what day they came out, most likely Tue.

I saw this post this morning before I left the house so I stopped by the
Wal-Mart near where I live (Cary, NC).  No Shell sets here.  $15 for the MT
Ferrari is a bargain, I would buy as many as I could find at that price.
Wal-Mart gets some odd stuff in from time to time.  About a year ago
Wal-Mart had tons of 6180 (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6180) sets for $15.
