(...) The information that I got from Lego Consumer Afffairs is that 6500 Shell stations will be participating in this promo. I believe that they are the corporate owned stores and not the franchised stores. (...) Also, I was told by Consumer (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)

I checked out shelloil.com, I could not find any info on Lego while at the site. I did find out there are over 9000 Shell stations in the US. How did the promotion work in S.Cal? Was there a min purchase requirement? Julie (...) California (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)

I found that terms were interpreted differently at different stations. I only got in on this in Aug-Sep, after the promo had officially ended (since I don't live in SoCal), but I found a few places that still had them in stock. At one, it was as (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)
