  Metroliner 10001 (nearly) sold out! Was: What is the point of having shop @ home??
 
Hi Eli, another point why you can get some sets in one shop and not in the other: The item might be sold out and discontinued. Yes, the Legend-Metroliner will be discontinued, when it is sold out and it will be sold out _VERY_ soon (at least in (...)

  Re: What is the point of having shop @ home??
 
(...) See, that's funny, because when we here in Denmark buy from S-a-H, it's served out of Lego UK! I've tried to call TLC in Billund, but was re-routed to UK. Arne, Copenhagen (20 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)

  Re: What is the point of having shop @ home??
