|
| | | Hi, all-- I called in to check on the status of my lonely last two Euro S@H envelopes, and had a very interesting chat with a fellow on the phone banks (I won't give names, just in case). He told me that apparently there was some rumbling from (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.shopping) !!

At that time, they were actively trying to get them over here to please us collectors. They are fully aware of how much (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | | | (...) I think it was simply miscommunication on the part of the sales rep. I mean we all take what s@h phone operators say with a grain of salt at best. To think that some European operator would know what's going on in America is a bit of a reach. (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.shopping)

As I tried to make clear, it was hearsay--one source, placed purely on the European side, albeit not merely "some European operator," because he had an inordinate interest in the mechanics of proxy buying and factoring, what we do, the (...)

I think all of the old Castles and Pirates minifig stuff (parts and complete minifigs) would do well. Watch the line form for full red (...)
