If what you say is true then I find that very sad. But what concerns me
is that so many sets went to just two people. If those two people happened
to be Americans then that's completely irrelevent. Busy Bee's a great shop
and I'm glad that people in America as well as other countries have been
able to benefit by buying sets from there. I just wish that US Shop@Home
would do the same for us Brits (and everyone else outside the US).

Ah, but BB isn't owned by Lego, or they'd only be selling to Brits.  I
can't buy from Canada S@H, or any other S@H service BUT the US service, so
you've got nothing to complain about.



(And I also hope that people will be a bit more responsible and
thoughtful towards others before they
start buying lots of any other set that BB might get in the future).

Oh, quit your whining!  From what I gather, you live in the UK, so you
could have ordered all you wanted!  Larry and others have been talking
about the 4536s for ages, in fact they've been availabe at BB since at
least July!  I ordered a whopping 10 of them, and will either part them out
or sell them.  Whoever those 2 are that got the 250 of them, more power to
them - they took the time to order them, and had the capital to pay for
them.

Are you going to complain that I "stole" 2 8880s away from Brits buy buying
them from BusyBee?  I paid over $50 shipping on those 2 sets alone, would
you have to pay that much?  At least you don't have to pay for overseas
shipping to get stuff from BB, and can probably afford to call them every
day to see what's the latest new stuff.

(...) Wrong - these hopper cars haven't been 'available' since July - when those 2 ordered theirs - they were the only one who know about them at that time. I've also ordered a whopping 10 as well. (25 years ago, 10-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Ha ha. Thanks for your support - though I don't think you're going to endear yourself to many Americans with comments like that. If what you say is true then I find that very sad.
