Shell has a set of 3 different buildings, 1254, 1255, and 1256 available at their stations. These sets are reasonably priced and come chock full of great town pieces. You can get these sets at any Shell station with a $10 fill-up (at least in (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Have to agree with Brad H. now that I've picked up all the 11 Shell promo sets. They are in my opinion some of the better Town System sets since at LEAST 1996. I think LEGO may have been targeting us AFOLs with this offering, and since Town is (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.reviews)

(...) I know eBay has these sets going sometimes. I still need to find them in Iowa. There aren't any Shell's; The closest one to me is about 40 miles from the northern border of Missouri; and I'm not positive it has LEGOs. Kevin (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) You live in Riverside area? And have not seen 'em? Try the Shell on La Sierra and Magnolia off the 91 fwy, there is another big Shell near the 91/215 Colton area, or maybe Arlington area. They have TONS up here in Rancho Cucamonga/Upland area. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) One of the ones by me (in Santa Clarita) had all of them,another other had just the vehicles, and the last one didn't have any. It depends entirely on the owner of the gas station I guess. Kyle Henneberque (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.town)

Matt hasn't repriced these items to match current availability. OK, but is that bad? Maybe (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.promo, lugnet.market.theory)

Christopher J. Dean wrote in message ... (...) Actually I think that Matt marks up the sets according to how much he paid for them. Last year we got two 4536 Blue Hopper cars (shipped ) for $25 each and he sold the Velux houses for $20-25 shipped. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.promo)

Brad Hamilton has fairly reviewed these sets, but I had such a positive reaction to them I wanted to make a review. These sets are actually models built from bricks and plates. The presence of the original Shell sticker from 1980 makes me imagine (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.reviews)
