Noticed that the UK shop.lego.com actually has a set listed under 'Hard to Find' (shop at home exclusives). First time there has been anything on this page. It is a 6110 Solo Sub. Wow! Been looking everywhere for one of those! Not. regards Lawrence (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)
