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)

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)

(...) You're right on the price of the 1254, my 1254 from last fall has a price sticker on it of $12.99. 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)
