I recently found at a store near me the following two Extreme Team
sets. They don't seem to be in any of my S&H catalogs that I have, nor
are they in the regular LEGO catalogs that come with new sets. I have
thought that perhaps these are some type of promo or Europe only sets,
but this is only speculation on my part.

1088 - Road Burner - 25 parts
This is a small black race car with a yellow underbody and front wing.
This is a "full size" race car, not a go-cart like the LEGO polybag.
The rear wing is attached with a 1x2 hinged element. There is no
minifig included in this set.

1068 - Air Patrol - 19 parts
This is a small gyrocopter in red and black. There is a main rotor
assembly, and a small propeller that faces rearward. This set seems
alot simpler then the other one, although it does include a minifig.
He's dressed in a blue jumpsuit with "oil" and Octan symbol logos.

I'm not a big Extreme Team fan, in fact, these are the first two
Extreme Team sets I've purchased. The store is a discount drug store,
and the sets just seem really out of place there. I'm just curious if
anyone knows the origins of these two sets.

I like the ET logo there on the 1088 photo -- it looks like (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.town, lugnet.promo)
