This puts the Model Team sets in approximately this ranking for me
personally (the contest between 1 and 2 is VERY close):

1. 5571 Black Cat Big Rig       // huge, glorious, great colors

Want one, can't afford it.

2. 5590 Whirl N' Wheel Super Truck      // colors, great helicopter

Want one, can't afford it.

3. 5580 Highway Rig             // the original, still a 'beaut'

Want one, can't afford it.

4. 5540 Formula 1 Racer         // for the bi-plane 2nd model

Want one, can't afford it.

5. 2554 F1 Ferrari              // seen one, don't have this yet

Want one, can't afford it.

6. 5591 Mach II Red Bird Rig

Want one, can't afford it.

7. 5541 Blue Fury

Like my RED Fury better, but have a blue one too ;-)

8. 5521 Sea Jet

Want one, don't have the money right now, though it is within my price
range.


Then the rest (in no particular order):
5510 Off Road 4x4

Want one, can't afford it.

5550 Custom Rally Van

Have 1 1/2 of them, want more.

5581 Magic Flash

Have 2 of them, want more.

Note that I think people were talking about the 5571 availability in the
stores, where it is MUCH more likely to be discounted (Mike Stanley got 2
at an obscene price like $60 or less each).  I'd LOVE to have this set, but
just can't afford it at full price or anything near it.  If anyone wants a
5581 bad enough, I'll trade straight across for a 5571 ;-)  The 5581 is
NIB, almost zero shelf wear.

(...) Mike, Where did you get 5571 at such a low price? Is it still available? Alan (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

I read on RTL a couple weeks back that S@H had discontinued this set. Larry P. indicated that he'd just bought one quite recently at that time, but noone else stepped forward to support the idea that they are still in stock. Then I got e-mail from (...) (26 years ago, 10-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
