Hi all,
I actually live in Monaco, south of France and I'm about to place an order
to Lego France for some spare parts. I can post orders quite easily and
send to US using UPS or DHL as some of my company offices are in SF,
California. if anybody is interested, please apply quickly as I *urgently*
need the small cylinders and pumps...

Cheers,
Emanuele Cipolloni

Luckily enough, a few months ago I was able to order some air tanks at the

country where they are available as spare parts.

How much did they cost? It's a real pain to get them by any other means...

51.99 FF, that means 7.93 Euros. About 8.40 USD at current exchange rate.
The problems is they don't ship abroad. To get them here in Italy I had to
send a check in FF and ask them for shipping to a French address (my • parent's
vacation house near Nice). Finally I got them here and shipped part of • them to
friends in US.
BTW, they sell also Fiber Optic Motors at 87,99 FF = 13.41 Euros, about • 14.25
USD.

I plan to issue another order before the end of this year. If you (or any
other) are interested, I put your name on my list. I warn you: you have to
wait for I send a check by mail, wait for it gets there, wait for them to
clear it, wait for they ship the parts to my parent's house, wait for • somebody
from my family goes there and brings them to myself, wait for the packet I
ship arrives at your home.  A long story... :-)

A keen French Legomaniac could help a lot...
