I'm curious as to how the promotional sets work. Is it at all possible that Lugnet could work with TLC to make promotional sets available? I'd love to see an assortment like the Shell sets (and I'm sure Lugnet would be happy for TLC to sell them (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) May I suggest one per month. Possibly related to something seasonal (although the seasons are swapped across the equator). Lugnet members could keep standing open orders (as in: ship me 2 each time a new one is released). Ray (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I can do some digging into this, but keep in mind that the Shell promo would be millions of units. I am not sure what the quantity would be for a LUGNET set, but I am not sure that the revenue/volume would be there to meet the minimums. Jake (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(then again, could be apples and oranges cause that's a HUGE set) But, something offered through Direct/S@H would be nifty. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Umm, I wouldn't be complaining too much about wheels if we got a set similar to 1650 (gosh, how many center sections does that thing have? Is that TLC's longest ship? It looks like it could be longer than a BSB or SES). I assume you meant (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
