(...) WTF??? Caribbean Clippers still new in a toystore??? This is Argentina we're talking about here--not only are they expen$ive as all get out, most people don't have the money to buy them. However, I'm surprised that you found them in Buenos (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I'm not sure if one can find many Legos outside of Buenos Aires here in Argentina, at least old Legos like BSB. As these are expensive here, sometimes you can find stores with old stuff they have been unable to sell. Last year I bought Skulls (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I paid around $ 230 for SES. But no S&H, and I got a brand new unopened set immediately. S&H to Argentina can be very expensive for a big set like that, plus the risk of it getting lost. I'm not so sure it would be a good alternative. On top (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)
