Alright, who's the AZ resident who bought the Solar Snooper while I was
trying to get through??

The store owner was friendly, and just a bit surprised about the
interest these sets were getting.  Apparently, he didn't realize LEGO
sets go out of production.

BTW, here are a couple of other sets they have:

TOWN
  6444 [Outback] Outback Airstrip

SPACE
  6896 [M:Tron] Celestial Forager

AQUAZONE
  6155 [Aquasharks] Deep Sea Predator

For just a second, I thought they had a 6871, Star-Patrol Launcher, but
he had just mis-read a number.

Todd: Thanks for posting this!

There's a cool little news & gift store in Brighton which has a stash of old
LEGO sets -- some going back to 1987.


  Store:
     Brighton News & Gifts
     311 Harvard St.
     Brighton, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

  Directions:
     Um, look on map...it's too hard to describe.  Hint:  it's on the East
     side of the street, and it's on Harvard St. in Brighton, not Harvard Ave.
     in Allston.

  Hours:
     They're closed on Sundays, but I think they open at 7:30 a.m. every day
     on weekdays.  I forgot to check what time they closed...might be as early
     as 5 or 6 p.m.


Here's a list of everything they had out on the shelves when we went this
morning...  (There were also some things that we missed out on -- a Town/Space/
Forestmen value pack and some old M:Tron set.)


TOWN
4020 [Boats] Fire Fighter (1987)
6353 [Nautica] Coastal Cutter (1991)

6558 [Divers] Shark Cage Cove (1997)

CASTLE

6056 [Dragon Masters] Dragon Wagon (1993)

SPACE
6981 [Blacktron II] Aerial Intruder (1991)
6933 [Blacktron II] Spectral Starguider (1991)
6957 [Space Police II] Solar Snooper (1992)

8838 Shock Cycle (1992)

BASIC
325 3+ Tote Pack (1990)
525 small cannister set (1990)
1636 ? (?)

DUPLO
2383 ? (?)
2654 Police Dispatch Unit (1991)
2662 Pool Pals (1990)
2672 Police Station (1991)
2690 Fire Chief (1996)


I didn't take notes on quantities because they said they have replacements in
the basement for things out on the shelves.  (So who knows how much they have.)
I know they had at least two Solar Snoopers left out on the shelves, and the
Imperial Guard ship in the front window, and I think I got the last Aerial
Intruder.  At least 30 old sets still out on the shelves when we left.

p.s.  This is an informative post only -- not an offer to purchase and ship.

(...) Wow! That M:Tron set wasn't out on the shelves... I wonder how much stuff they have stashed down in the basement? --Todd (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
