(...) On the "high" price issue... don't forget that Shell was originally giving these out with certain purchases, and/or subsidizing the costs to make them cheap for the casual gas station consumer. I didn't think about this myself until I asked (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Are they really anymore expensive than when they were at the Shell stations? All but the big one seem to be in line with what I expect LEGO sets to sell for based on the cost / piece ratio. Granted, I'd like them cheaper, but i don't think that is (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

I paid maybe $20 for this set. I actually think it was cheaper. Tuesday morning had them. (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Jake & All, (...) Indeed. Are these going to become available to people eventually, or are they already out of stock? I am getting a Not Available when I view the KS1256.

(...) Are you asking that LD match Tuesday morning pricing at the outset? That's not typically the pricing model used, rather LD seems to charge full retail. That the set went for 20 at Tuesday Morning argues that it's priced correctly at LD, at (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Jake & All, (...) Thanks, we appreciate it! These sets are probably some of the best LEGO Town sets that LEGO has made recently, traditional cars, great parts, and the sets are great just by themeselves. Not that I like Shell Stations or anything! (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Yeah, some of my favorites too! (...) Well, this isn't actually the first thing we have done like this. There have been a number of promotional items over the years that S@H has picked up.

(...) I think you may be misunderstanding this. Troy asked what a 2556 was worth - this is not part of the allegedly overpriced Shell pack [s1252-6].

Hi, I for one appreciate that these sets were made available at Shop@Home. I live in Canada and was never able to take advantage of them as a promo. Shell in Canada never did not carry these.
