I am not sure if these are in the catalog now (they haven't been), but
S@H had them in stock the last time I asked (couple weeks ago): 6090 Royal
Knights Castle and 5571 Big Rig Truck. They have had the 8480 in stock all
this year, but it wasn't in the catalog - maybe they assumed they would be
sold out by the time the catalogs were printed and distributed, or there is
a better chance that the reason for not advertising is these huge sets sell
a lot better before Christmas than after. Just a guess.

| Yep, bottom line is you should never assume S@H is sold out of a set just because it's not in the catalog. It's definitely worth a free phone call to make sure, especially before bidding above their price in an auction or something. Doug (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
