All,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I announce the new LEGO
Auctions! Check out the new area of the online LEGO Shop at
http://shop.LEGO.com/eBay.
We have literally just launched this live, and the first auction will be
....drum roll please.... Santa Fe Super Chief locomotive set #0001! OK, so
Brad announced this at BricksWest, but here's what he didn't mention:
- We will be auctioning Santa Fe Super Chief locomotive sets #0001-0010 over
the next few weeks, starting with #0001.
- Each of the #0001-0010 sets will include a glued display stand as an added
bonus. These stands look terrific, and are glued in two pieces, rather than
one, to help with shipping and future storage (assuming you ever want to
store it away!).
(Note: The Santa Fe Super Chief sets are still MISB)
OK, I will stop typing and let you go bid!
Good luck and have fun!
Jake

| (...) Hmmm... Looks intersting. What other stuff are you going to auction? And will it always be one at a time?

| I can't truly express how disappointed I was to see this announcement. As a Canadian AFOL who has yet to even receive a Shop@Home catalog (after multiple requests) offering the Super Chief for sale, to see Lego now offering them for sale on E-bay is (...)

| LEGO Direct (and Jake in particular) has earned a lot of credit in our AFOL community. To me this is the only explanation why first reactions to this announcement weren't severely critical. LEGO, both Billund and Direct, have been doing quite (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| Jake - Very very cool!! :-) Though my pockets aren't deep enough to afford something as rare as Super Chief 0001, I think this is a neat idea and I encourage you guys to keep stuff like this up. -Tim (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| Jake, I really like the display base designed for the Super Chief in this auction. Great work. I understand it increases costs to produce and print an instruction book for these extremely limited editions. And given an hour or two, I'm sure the (...)
