Hello LUGNET, I have had absolutely no luck getting a 6557. I have been looking for over nine months now and I am desperate. I am now offering $50 to anyone who can sell me one. My son's B-day is coming up and he has a Divers collection complete except for this piece. I had hoped to get him one for Christmas but failed to even locate one. Please help me out and make my son, myself, and your wallet happy! Please help..... Thanks, Mark

The store does still have almost all the other Divers sets if anyone is interested. -- Paul Davidson (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

		Re: Do you want $50 for a $20 set?
(...) Check your local Tuesday Morning store. That is pretty much the only US store chain that received the set. Also, I am sure you have called S@H (8004534652, incase you did not) and they told you it was discontinued. However, it is not rare for (...)
