(...) I think that all of the Cement Mixer sets (and all of the gas station ones, plus some others) are labeled "Special Edition" just because they are available from a limited set of retailers. In the case of the Cement Mixer in the US, I think you (...) (17 years ago, 13-Sep-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | Set 7990 Special Edition?

I recently saw the Cement Mixer 7990 at a store and the box had "Special Edition" on it. Otherwise, from what I could tell it was identical to the 7990 I see on the S@H website. Anyone have any information on any differences between the regular and (...) (17 years ago, 13-Sep-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Steve, My concern is that a retailer that has had many exclusive sets over the years is not apparently carrying your product anymore. LEGO seems to be losing market share in a huge way and that is not a good sign. This as set design seems to (...) (17 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

I should also point out that production for sets is a lot like printing - there's a lot of lead time needed to get a set production run done. So what seems obvious now in terms (...)
