(I sent this by email this morning, but our email system is going funny
today and I think the first post got lost in cyberspace. If a duplicate of this
appears later, that's why :) )
Sets I can get:
---------------
Sorry my original post was a bit vague about the sets.
I didn't have a pen and paper with me when I first looked
in the shop and I don't have any of my pre-1998 catalogues with
me (they're still sitting in the house I moved out of last year).
Plus I'm still trying to adjust to all the US names that people
use on the internet being
different from the UK set names I'm familiar with
*grovel grovel, excuse excuse*
Anyway I've been back to the shop with pen and paper, and also found
another shop locally which is a factory outlet for old discounted toys.
As a result, there are lots of sets on the list now (although the model
team one I mentioned has gone). Here's the complete list. I've given
prices in £ as I'm in the UK, along with very approximate $ conversions.
When I last checked it was roughly £1 = $1.60
6190 (aquashark, the base with sub) £20 ($32)(reduced from £28)
6558 (divers) £11 (reduced from £20 ($32)(I think)
6195 (aquanauts, the old base) £38 ($60) (reduced from £60)
4022 (coastguard boat) £16 ($24) (reduced from £24)
6335 (F1 transport: town) £15 ($23)(reduced from £20)
8480 (Technics Space Shuttle) £60 ($86) (reduced from £90)
6979 (UFO, the big set with fibre-optics) £30 ($48)(reduced from £55)
6975 (UFO, the other big set) £20 ($32) (reduced from £30)
6982 (exploriens, the big ship) £24 ($38) (reduced from £50)
5561 (model team, red and white truck) £40 ($64) (reduced from £60)
6289 (big red pirates ship) £50 ($80) (reduced from £64)
There's also the Football starters set from the
World cup last year, reduced from £17 to £16 ($26)
(hey, massive reduction there!) I couldn't see a number on the box.
There are still quite a lot of all these sets in the shops, though in
some cases the boxes are looking a bit shop-worn.
If anyone's interested, I'll try and get these, with the usual conditions
(I want payment first, etc.) Bear in mind that postage from the UK to the US
will
be expensive - I was quoted £20 ($30) for 2kg, £26 ($40) for 3kg, including
insurance. I'll also add a small amount - depending how many sets I get,
perhaps $10, to cover packing and my expenses/effort in getting the
sets (one of the shops is 15 miles away!)
