You really will have to get a better memory for these numbers, or follow the thread. :-) I'll quote part of the originating message for you: "Remember 1857, the 950 brick "value" boxes, which cost 13.50? They're back! And on sale!" JG Simon Robinson (...) (26 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Not sure if this is widely known, but Beatties now operate a mail order service. A flyer and price list for it was given out in the 99 catalogues up here. If anyone wants to see it, I'll post it on my website. You can buy over the phone with credit (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I forgot to thank you, Richard. My local Tesco had 6 of the 1857s, so I took 4 of them. (950 pieces for £7.85 is such good value). I also noticed that they had 2 of the new road sign sets at £2.49 each, so I took those too. The blue Technic (...) (26 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
