I found out about their existance quiye by accident. About a month ago I
was trying to find a 4555 Freight Loading Station and happened upon this web
page: http://come.to/busy.bee
When I called Busy Bee I was informed that they didn't have any more 4555
sets but they were expecting in 2150 and 4536 later in the month
(September). I was interested in both and was told that if I gave them my
name and fax number they would send me a price list when the 4536 sets came
in.
About a week ago when I saw the listing for five 4536 sets on Serious
Collector followed by Larry P's listings on eBay, I figured I better call
Busy Bee and see if that was where they were coming from. Sure enough they
had a few left so I bought six.
I never did receive a fax from Busy Bee so it is mostly by shear luck that I
was able to order any at all. Now I am axiously awaiting their arrival.
Mine supposedly shipped last Tuesday. Anyone received their shipment yet?
