  Shell Ferrari $15 if you have a Charge card!! but....
 
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 (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.shopping)

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)

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)

(...) I think it has more to do with the fact that the set is a promo.As in Shell is using the sets to promote their gas stations. They are using new sets each week or so to draw people into their gas stations to buy Shell gasoline. They want us to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) At the Shell stations around Washington, you can buy all of the sets now. It just depends on the managment of the individual gas station, or the mood of whoever is behind the counter. Daniel (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Do a search for "shell" in the lugnet database: the 1998 ones (with set #s in the 2500 range) seem to cover the small ones. I *think* I saw a <set:2554> in the station I stopped at. I know they had both <set:2555 the Belville Swing> for $10 (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.shopping)
