I recently had the opportunity to buy a used 6399 Airport Shuttle. At first
I passed on it as it was not something I lusted after. I decided to pick it
up anyway thinking that if I didn't care for it, there certainly seemed to
be enough people looking for one that I could sell it or trade it for
something that I really wanted.
Tonight I put it together to make sure it was all there and that it worked.
Other than missing a couple sets of flowers, it is complete and works and is
in very good condition. I have been watching this thing cruise back and
forth around the track while I was watching TV and I have to say, I think I
now understand why people like this set so much.
As I sit here writing this I am thinking to myself, the last thing I need is
a weakness for another expensive theme. I have rarely given any attention
to the Monorail auctions but I can already see how I would want more track.
What have I gotten myself into?

| Hi Mike, Having had a 6399 in the same state, and watched it till the battery went dead, I say you'll get over it and sell it for $500 like I did. If there was any way to have it run without relying on battery power, I'd say keep it. Mark H. (...) (26 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.general)
