(...) Yeah, some of my favorites too! (...) Well, this isn't actually the first thing we have done like this. There have been a number of promotional items over the years that S@H has picked up.

Jake & All, (...) Thanks, we appreciate it! These sets are probably some of the best LEGO Town sets that LEGO has made recently, traditional cars, great parts, and the sets are great just by themeselves. Not that I like Shell Stations or anything! (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

That the set went for 20 at Tuesday Morning argues that it's priced correctly at LD, at (...) (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)

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)
