The exclusive, elusive SHELL sets have shown up in the Boston area!  I'm
excited about one set in particular,

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/2543

because it contains gray 4x8 airplaine tailfin element which is *very* hard to
find these days...

...and which, even when it was easy to find in older Town sets, was very
expensive to acquire.

I think it's a great piece for a number of space-related reasons:  little
wings, canards, vertical dual tailfins, etc.

The 2543 set also contains a black _un_printed UFO helmet.

p.s.  The small boxed SHELL sets here are $1.99 each -- or $1.49 with a $10
purchase.  Is this a typical price around the U.S.?

(...) Here in Champaign-Urbana, IL (where I stocked up last night) they're a flat rate of $1.49 -- no gas purchase required. They were almost all gone last night (and I didn't help things any :) Chris (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us)

(...) In my area two different Shell stations each have different prices. One has two varieties of the small sets selling for $1.49 without purchase. (Though, apparently a $10 purchase will be required in two weeks.) The other has all of the small (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I picked up four of these myself, and will probably get some more for just the two pieces you described. It's also nice to get more trans-orange minifig head without shelling out $20+ for them. Hmmm, mayhap it's time to get out the Brasso! Other (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.space)

Hey Todd!! Thanks for the info! Can you tell us at which specific Shell stations you saw this? -Shiri (eating herself for not stopping at shell just yesterday when I passed by - I was so sure the shell sets were only showing up in the west coast!!)
