(...) I think you may be misunderstanding this. Troy asked what a 2556 was worth - this is not part of the allegedly overpriced Shell pack [s1252-6]. Larry stated that he had paid $20 for his... which is not too far away from the Bricklink average (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I for one think you guys do a great job (especially considering some of the hoops you sometimes need to jump through to get things done). But are you sure it's Thursday? 8-) -H. (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) To tack on a few thoughts to this discussion, I would like to add that these sets were much more time consuming to get a hold of than standard retail assortment sets. Because we had so many requests for these sets, we went out of our way to (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Yeah, some of my favorites too! (...) Well, this isn't actually the first thing we have done like this. There have been a number of promotional items over the years that S@H has picked up.

Jake & All, (...) Thanks, we appreciate it! These sets are probably some of the best LEGO Town sets that LEGO has made recently, traditional cars, great parts, and the sets are great just by themeselves. Not that I like Shell Stations or anything! (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Are you asking that LD match Tuesday morning pricing at the outset? That's not typically the pricing model used, rather LD seems to charge full retail. That the set went for 20 at Tuesday Morning argues that it's priced correctly at LD, at (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Jake & All, (...) Indeed. Are these going to become available to people eventually, or are they already out of stock? I am getting a Not Available when I view the KS1256.

I paid maybe $20 for this set. I actually think it was cheaper. Tuesday morning had them. (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Are they really anymore expensive than when they were at the Shell stations? All but the big one seem to be in line with what I expect LEGO sets to sell for based on the cost / piece ratio. Granted, I'd like them cheaper, but i don't think that is (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) On the "high" price issue... don't forget that Shell was originally giving these out with certain purchases, and/or subsidizing the costs to make them cheap for the casual gas station consumer. I didn't think about this myself until I asked (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) You're right on the price of the 1254, my 1254 from last fall has a price sticker on it of $12.99. Still, if you buy the kit containing the 5 sets, it's about a $9 difference, if I did my math right. Not too bad considering I'm not driving (...) (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Is there some special # to use to order the whole series? The below link didn't work for me, but searching for each set # did (you MUST use the S in front of the 1252-1256 in the US, at least), but they total $81 bought individually. Ah, nevermind, (...)

I just placed an order with S@H and found the shell sets. Oh yeah I bought the whole series. (URL) for the series, but I think well worth it. The Shell Service Station is open for business!
