I was wondering about the Shell promo sets numbered 1252-1256. Are they available currently, or did I miss out on them? All the Shell stations near me have the 1246-1251 promo sets, and seem to have plenty of them, but none of the larger sets. Are (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

We found all the sets available at only one station (in VA, I think, off I-95). The rest was piece meal, only 1 or 2 of (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
