This is, of course, set number 493, not 496. Just in case anyone wanted
to hop over to see a pic of my incredible find, I thought I should
correct that. This was one of my childhood sets and that's why I'm
especially pleased to have found it again. And I'm surprised too. I
live in a small town where no Lego was sold 20 years ago. I received
the Lego I had on out-of-town trips to "big cities" and from relatives
in Germany, so I've always thought of Lego as a rarity. Now my town has
a K-Mart and Wal*Mart so the common sets are there, but I still have to
go on trips to see any trains or Mindstorms sets. And I really don't
buy a lot of Lego from K-mart/Wal*mart. Well, just some observations
and a correction...
