All, A few lucky folks are going to be very happy this weekend... We just found a few (very few) 8880 Super Car sets in a corner of the warehouse. There seriously aren't many, so if you want one, you had better hurry. Since there are so few, we are (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.market.shopping) !
