As a dutch person, I feel obliged to comment.
It is not that the dutch soccer sets are rare. It's just that no person from the
Netherlands wants to get rid of them.
We are all Soccer-Crazy over here. We enjoy playing with the orange soccer
players. We care for our little orange figs.
We train these guys, feed them, send them to the showers, put them to bed,
errhmm. you get the picture.
That's why we want to keep them.

I think the weirdest thing about the Holland sets are that no one seems to know
about them or even makes a sound. You can see the British, Scottish and German
sets on eBay, but no one seems to even want to "admit" that they have a Dutch
set, let alone consider selling it. You'd imagine that for a country as big and
famous as Holland, and with a big promotion with Shell, it shouldn't be THAT
hard trying to locate these sets. I almost feel like I'm looking for THE rarest
pieces that Lego has ever produced...when in fact I'm sure they were available
in mass quantities because they were available from all shell petrol outlets.
Oh well...the search continues :(
