I stopped at 2 Shell stations today. One station only had the little sets.
There was a hand written sign that said $1.49, no mention of a mandatory
purchase.

The other station I stopped at had a huge display of all the sets. I think they
were just finishing setting the display up,the manager seemed to be going over
what was what with the cashier. So, I asked how much for the Ferrari. She tells
me that can't sell it yet. She said different sets will become available the
closer it gets to Christmas (1). She did say it would be $25 when they are
allowed to sell it. Then she says they would give a $10 discount if you put it
on your Chase Manhattan credit card. Pretty cool, eh??

She told the cashier gas didn't need to be purchased in order to buy any Lego.

(1)She thought it was ridiculous that they they had this huge display of the
sets all put together,  along with boxes lined up against the windows, but they
couldn't sell all the sets yet.

I stopped in 2 stations in the South SF Bay area today, and they only had a few of the small sets, didn't even know they were going to be getting the larger sets. Looks like I'm going to have to canvas a LOT of stations. All I really want is about 4 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

(...) they (...) tells (...) I found the Ferrari at a station off I-80 in Dixon, CA. Unfortunately you won't get the discount with just any old Chase Visa card-- it has to be a Shell Chase Visa (so my TRU Chase Visa didn't cut it). : ( Plus, the (...)

I found all these sets except for Belville today in Western Washington State. Different stations seem to have different sales policies. - At one station it was one and only one (Grrrr!) small set per fill up for $1.49 or $4.49 without the gas. The (...)

(...) It's not *that* strange: after all, the entire thong bikini industry is built on the same premise... If they're going to be storing them in the window, I guess that "MISFB" (Mint In Sun-Faded Box) will soon be entering the ebay lexicon.

The reason that they arent allowed to sell the larger sets yet would be this: they only have a limited supply of the larger sets and once thats gone they cant just call up lego or shell and get more AFAIK. So they dont want to start selling them now (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.shopping)
