Hi, I for one appreciate that these sets were made available at Shop@Home. I live in Canada and was never able to take advantage of them as a promo. Shell in Canada never did not carry these. Buying them on Ebay would have been hit or miss, most (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Saw some new sets besides Harry Potter last night. New Toa for 17.99 for a 3 pack (there are two different sets of these.) Boh-rok for 19.99 for a 3 pack (there are two different sets of these.) I have no idea why Boh-rok would cost more than Toa. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) 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)
