|

These were all on sale for $67. This isn't a huge discount, but 5987 is a fairly new set, so I think this is pretty good. This was in Orange County, CA. I assume that it is nation-wide. The sale goes until 12/2. (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

The nice thing about the buckets ONCE YOU HAVE THEM, is that you can compact 2.5 buckets into one, so those 40 will end up being 16 buckets. And if you just throw them in a cardboard box, you can cram them into a decently small box. I still have 16 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
