(...) Even better- I called up with a bog order not too long ago. I wanted to get four total McD's sets, and I was well over $75 for ordering. I made it clear that I wanted to pay for 3 and get the fourth one free... Anyway, I ended up getting (...) (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Call back and ask about your order. When I asked about a free McDonalds set with my order of four 1775 my rep put me on hold to check with someone, so I assume she got an approval from her supervisor. No harm in playing dumb and asking questions... (...) (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I was in Busy Bee on Monday, and asked if they would be getting any 4560s, as I already have *plenty* of controllers. Paul said that they are not getting any 4560s, but he will take the controller/transformer out of the 4561, and reduce the price (...)

(...) Maybe bulk-order of older stuff, not bulk-order of parts. And the shipping alone makes it somewhat prohibitive to order things from BB unless you're really desperate for something, imo.

They are $19.75 each (153 pieces). I'll throw out my usual offer - if you are not in the US, I will be happy to order them and send them to you at cost plus shipping, but I'll need to have them prepaid (too far over Lego budget for a few months).
