    US Shell Promotion —Karl Barger
   Given the popularity of the first LEGO promotion in the US this past spring, Shell has partnered with LEGO for another promotion. I'm not sure if this is going to be a national promotion or not. It may only be in Sothern California again. The (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)

        Re: US Shell Promotion —Todd Hossbach
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: US Shell Promotion —Julie Krenz
      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)
     
          Re: US Shell Promotion —Scott P. Costello
      The previous So Cal promotion did not require minimum purchase, however the price varried. The small sets were $1.99 regular price, and $1.19 with minimum purchase of $8. They did not limit the number of $1.19 sets you could purchase, so if you (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)
     
          Re: US Shell Promotion —Paul Ferguson
      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 (...)

          Re: US Shell Promotion —Dave Johann
       One other occurance: At the end (August), some of the franchises combined their stock and sold it through individual stores. Buying a case of these sets @ $.99 per set wasn't unheardof. They are all gone now, but keep your eyes open for the upcoming (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)

         Re: US Shell Promotion —Timothy Carl Buchheim
     (...) only sets 2535-2544 were sold in California last time. (They were all $1.99, or $1.19 with a $10 purchase of gasoline.) We kept hearing rumors of 2554-2556 but as far as I know, no one ever saw them. (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)

     (...) Saw 2554-bought one for myself and for Señor Sandlin. Saw 2555-passed on all the copies of it. Saw 2556-passed on it. Wish that I hadn't. Never saw it twice. Given the chance (and knowledge that this was a So Cal only promo), I'd buy a couple (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.promo)

        Re: US Shell Promotion —Dan Bivona
   Ok, I am a little behind the times, so I am not sure if this may have been answered, so here it goes: I have seen the signs here in Maryland at a few Shell stations for Lego sets and the sets I have actually seen are not the ones listed below. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo)
