Yeah that's kind of what I got out of it too. My German is pretty crappy,
but I got basically the same story out of it.
Kind of reminds me of the time I was visiting LA (Spring 1997) for a
convention and my cab stopped in front of a toy store in downtown LA, and I
notice a LEGO box in the window. I had to get out of the cab and go look, it
was the 4564. Unfortunately the store was closed and my flight left the next
morning before the store opened. But Gary Louie was kind enough to go check
it out for me and found that not only did they have the one 4564, but had 4
of them, plus 3 Metroliners, a couple 4554 and other goodies. Those are the
kind of finds that make you feel like a child on Christmas for sure.

p.s.. and yes Gary was kind of enough to sell me one of each for his cost
(what a nice guy he was)
