(...) Yikes, I hope those sets aren;t really that expensive when released here. $50 for a bucket of 500 basic bricks? (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) 4179 came with a "free" Legoland ticket... factor that out, (TANSTAAFL(1)). 4105 is about the same piece count and cost significantly less. 1 - do you know what that expands to? For bonus points, can you name the book and author? :-) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hi John The childrens ticket which comes with 4179 is worth 140 DKK. That brings price down to 230 DKK, or about 30.50 US$, which is similar to 4105. Also, don't forget, that LEGO sets are expensive in Denmark. If the set is released in the (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)
