Poolside Paradise in particular has a catalogue written in Japanese, printed in 1995. Lego hasn't penetrated the (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I called S@H and inquired as to the above set. The price: $33. That sucks. So I went to www.zainybrainy.com, where it's listed for $29.99, but that's a wash once the shipping is factored in.
