(...) 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. (...) Oh, quit your whining! From what I gather, you live in (...) (25 years ago, 9-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)

Tom, next time you post a response to something I write, it might be an idea if you try READING the message you're replying to BEFORE you put your post in. If you read mine a bit more carefully you might notice that I was actually defending the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) 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)

(...) Am I? I had a look back through my posting that this is (I think) about. In it I remarked that I was glad for the people who'd been able to benefit from BB by buying blue hopper cars (implying: no matter which country they were from). I (...)

(...) Sure, I could. But you're already convinced otherwise, so why bother? Maybe I'd agree more with you on the "Busy Bee and other stores should limit the numbers of sets sold to any one person" issue if I were more attached to the item in (...)

OK, fine, next time I won't just reply to one particular posting when replying about the general feel of your posts. After reading several of your complaints, I'd had enough. It's really none of YOUR or MY or anyone's else's business how BusyBee (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)

Then there have been multiple batches at BB. I know of someone that ordered some in July. I ordered mine in October. Quite a spread there. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) I THINK there was only one batch. I first heard about them from a reputable source in August, at which time the order to Lego hadn't yet been placed by Busy Bee. (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Correct, there's been only ONE batch of blue hoppers - that was all 300 at once. There are multiple batches of all the other stuff like 1831 Maersk Trucks, etc. Different items in each batch. What happened is that Busy-Bee placed their order (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)
