OK, I bought it. Payed 700,- for the 4564 and a complete 6614. Also got a 6856, but I do'nt now if it is complete yet. Got some other parts too. Aprox. 150 parts. The 4564 lacks 3 big doors on the blue car, two blue 1x1 bricks with handle, one (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi Hugo, Unlike Larry, I think it is one of the nicer sets that Lego produced, better than 4563,65,59. I wouldn't mind a second one if at half price but I fear the postage would sour the dream. Any idea how much it would cost to post to Australia? (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hello! Got an offer for a 4564 today. They request half price of new price for it. 4564 is still on the shelfs here in Norway and is very expensive. They request 1.250,- NOK for it. A new 4559 goes for 1.159,-, and a 4565 goes for 1399,-. So when I (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
