Wow, those do look neat, are they available in the U.S. through the S@H or are they only available in other countries? If we can't get them here in the U.S. does anyone plan on buying some and reselling them to others on here? Thanks, Jodi (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

Huw and Grahame list the sets as "Shell 1999 worldwide promotion". Is that based on official documents? Worldwide??? Does that mean there's hope for us, U.S. (ha ha)? Hopin' so. Julie (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Nope. Here's why. The sets are sold by shell service stations. In america people don't usually get out when they fill up and go into the shop. Therefore it is not worth selling the sets in the us. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

Heya all ! The new LEGO - Shell sets are cool. I like the Ferrari signs on this cars. But also I guess that the cars are too juniorized. Rene (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
