  Cool Shell 1999 Promo sets now available in US
 
Excuse me if this is old news to some of you, but this came as a complete surprise to me, so I figure that other folks may not know either. Shell stations in the US (sighted in Orange County California) are now selling much larger sets than (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

This seems to be a SoCal only offer right now. <sigh> Might have to take a trip to SoCal JUST for sets! (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) Bay Area DSMs (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I almost popped out of the moving car as we pulled into the gas station and I saw the sign showing these sets. I had never seen these sets before and they are pretty decent town sets (when LEGO provides no regular town sets any more) and pretty (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Tom-take note...Central California seems to have an abundance of these sets. The Shell station in Los Osos (1/2 mi. west off the 101) and the Buellton Shells all had these sets. The prices were similar to what Brad mentioned. $6.99 for the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I managed to find a few more 1254's. These are VERY hard to find. I went to at least 5 different shell stations and they only carried them at the one where I got the original sets. Brad Hamilton <bhamilto1@home.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I was able to pick up some of the shell sets in Massachussetts, off one of the exits on I-84. They did not even make me buy any gas. I got 2536, 2556, 2537, 2543, 2554, 2539, 2538, 2544, 2541, 2542, 2540. They had a lot of the little sets for (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Almost all Shell stations have those little sets. The 125x (like 1254, 1255, 1256) sets are the hard ones to find (the ones that apparently only are being sold in CA). Has anyone else in the US seen these? doug mulvaney <douglasm@cisunix.unh.edu> (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

No, and I didn't find the Shell Customer Service to be all that helpful either, at least in Georgia. All the stores they mentioned acted dumbstruck when I called them on it. But I guess it saved me time from driving to them. I guess Georgia Shell's (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
