I haven't opened the sets yet, going to tonight, so I don't know yet. The
previous 2 sets I bought did have blue torsos, from what I can remember.

I am auctioning off 10 sets, and if I sell enough of the subsets, that will
be it. If I don't pull in enough to pay off the sets, I will put in some
"reserve" 9365s that I don't REALLY want to have to sell.
I updated the page last night with more info, including a (VERY) rough
timeline for the auction.
YES, I have that tension too :/ I started on a strict budget today for
Lego/cars/computers, and I have to stick to it, so if I go over budget, it
will only be by making money on selling some Lego, or doing car work. I HATE
being on a budget, but it's necessary if I ever want to buy a house.

| Tom, Two questions (and I'm not really interested in bidding, since the sets I'd want are 'priced to keep'). 1. The Tipper Truck, original set #6527, your verbiage says "Fig w/Blue torso - originally had red". My CV set came with a red torso for (...) (28 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
