Could it be that 8448 also had a problem with a copyright, like 8445(Indy

reason after only 3 months. I ordered mine and got it much earlier than the
anticipated release date in September, then they finally showed up in stores
and were gone right away. That was the last I saw them, sometime around last

| (...) I should correct mmyself. 8448 was discontinued 3 months after it was released, not 6. I can't give the details, but I know from several sources that 8448 is no more. The only chance of getting one new is the Imagination centers, but I don't (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
