Hello everyone. This 1593 deal pretty much fascinated me. I guess it's safe to consider this set to be the rarest set out there? I have NEVER heard of a Lego going for so much money before. In fact, the most expensive set that I had ever seen before has been around $700. So I guess the questions that I ask are directed more toward Mr. John R York himself! I have to admit that you seem like you're a REALLY nice guy and a Lego collector that helps people in need and shows a lot of gratitude for those who help you...those are the best Lego fans out there. I guess I can say that I'm glad that you're the one who got this set rather than someone who is going to say "I have this sent and you don't!" etc. etc. etc. What I wanted to know is if this is a set that you just save your money up for to buy when the time comes? I could NEVER imagine paying that much for one particular set...maybe over a series a set but not one set! :-) I didn't realize till awhile ago how rare this set was. The fact that it is in MISB and I do mean MINT IN SEALED BOX is truly amazing. So I want to know...is this set TRULY the rarest that Lego has ever put it? Is this the most sought after set? Just curious! Hope to get some replies! :-) Brendan Coughlin Duck360198@aol.com

Some guy in Germany is selling another one. Again MISB. Is now at about $300. Did Lego start production again :) (24 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) Wow, that's incredible! Fastest I've ever heard prior to that for something small via regular airmail was 3 days from Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A. to Köln, Germany. What method of shipment was used? Was it regular airmail? (...) Wow. Drool. --Todd (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.shipping)
