(...) Many thanks to everyone who has offered to pick one up (here and in email). My sister is trying to get one in N Tas for me, so I'll see how she goes first (no postage!). Deidre drb@tasmail.com (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
I have found a 6087 on special at Devonport Toyworld, Burnie had sold out (like Hobart) and Launceston had a different catalog with no Lego whatsoever. Thanks everyone, Deidre drb@tasmail.com (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
