Well, they were exciting for me-- my knees actually got weak when I spotted that Paradisa box on the shelf tucked under some Res-Q set! I was headed up to the cashier clutching the box in my sweaty palms to beg, wheedle and coax her to check the (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Great find! Can you give us some more info like Did both stores have the Paradisa sets? I know you said they weren't identical but was the Pradisa set one they both had in common? Second, where? Are you on the East coast, North west, Texas, etc.? (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Okay, I'm in Northern California. I wiped out the Poolside Paradise stock at the stores at Vacaville Factory Outlets and Natomas Station Factory Outlets (Sacramento). Only Vacaville had the Dark Forest set, and I only saw the buckets at Natomas (but (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I called the one in Smithfield, North Carolina: the woman who answered was very helpful. She couldn't give me the prices, because they had just received the shipment and hadn't priced them yet, but she had a bunch of Duplo plus: 6572 Wind Runners (...)

Thanks Maggie for the great tip. Great for me, anyway. I just dropped nearly $800 at the KB Toy Liquidators at the Smithfield, NC location. Some of the prices are certainly much better than others, but if you spend over $500 you can ask for a 10% (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I have been thinking about this and it sure seems strange. Where would this quantity of Paradisa sets been hidden for the last 3 years? I don't recall ever seeing them in a S@H sale or on a speical page in the catalog. Very interesting how these (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Maggie said she's not selling. If anyone else runs across these, I will buy all you are willing to sell me at a 25% markup from your cost, for project use. (that is, the ones you sell me will not be seen again as sets, but rather as parts in (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Most (but not all) of the sets I picked up have no piece count on the box, suggesting that they were not made for the US market. 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)

(...) Thanks for posting this message! I dashed to the City of Commerce (SoCal - the Assyrian-styled "Citadel" ex-factory on the 5 freeway) during lunch and snagged all eight 6024s they had (hidden high on a shelf). I'm a happy camper. I also found (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I cleaned out the Bandit Ambush sets, and picked up some Paradisa and Time Losers (for 80% off!). I also noticed that they had a small (...) (24 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

If anyone is willing to do a buy-and-ship (for a commission, of course) of one of those Paradisa 6416 Poolside Paradise sets, I would love one. Just one... it's for me to play with, not to sell parts from! Kevin (24 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Lots more junk left there, but it was all the insectoids crap and mostly overpriced Ninja and Adventurers stuff, even on clearance pricing. I got 2 6416's (...)

(...) Sorry, no interest in selling them, at least not for anything near what I paid for them. In fact, I just traded for 4 more 6024's yesterday. And I have 20 6038's from the Lego Outlet find a while back, so I'm not really desperate for those. I (...) (24 years ago, 28-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Didn't see any of this set that I remember. That's almost a decent price, but nowhere near the discount that I got on the other sets. And I don't like Ninja stuff anyway except for parts, so the minifigs do me no good. (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
