Hi All, Argos have just changed catalogue and the new one doesn't have the 8448 in it. I just called Argos Direct and ordered an 8448 for £37.45 (about £41 including delivery). Happy shopping! Regards, Conrad. (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Bummer! Is that number reflecting the stock at *one* store or UK total stock? I saw the original post, but I didn't think I had to act *that* fast to get one! My fault I guess :) Richard (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) That's because the 8448 is being discontinued this year :-( It's only been in the shops 3 months but it's not on the new retailer list. Carbon 60 (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) If it is discontinued, then it will probably mean that some new set will take it's place, so why the frown? Personally, I prefer new sets to old ones! :-) Fredrik (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I think it is more to do with they way Argos works as a company. They have to plan quite far ahaed, and can not be very dynamic in terms of stock. Scott A (...) -- Scott A My Lego Site : (URL) List : (URL) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
