Cigar Josh Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Hey I have a question???... Is there anyway to get a hold of an older set say from the early 90s... Back when I was heavy into lego's I always wanted to get the cargo ship set complete with the loading dock and overhead crane... I'm not too sure on the set number???... Thats one of the sets I always wanted but unfortunately my parents (at the time I was 9 or 10) didn't buy it for me... Quote
Scouty Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Ebay and Bricklink are probably the best places to look :-) . Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 While that's true, IS, I think he was asking for the set number, not where he could buy it ;-) I'll look quickly, but for future reference, Peeron is an excellent resource for this type of thing. Edit: After a quick search, is this the set you mean? Peeron information Bricklink Stores Quote
Cigar Josh Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Thats one of them Starwars, I think the one I'm thinking of had an overhead crane with red on the plastic that represented the high bars to where the crane was... Also thanks for the link to those two sites... Quote

There's a new harbour set coming out which has pretty much the same in it; a cargo ship, container crane, dock and building, along with a truck. It's 7994 Cargo Sea Port and comes out in June: http://brickset.com/detail.aspx?Set=7994-1 Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 This wouldn't happen to be it, would it? Peeron Information Quote
Cigar Josh Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 I believe thats it Starwars... Also Mr. Hobbles you wouldn't happen to know if that new set will be available in the states would you??? Quote

I may not be Mr. Hobbles, but I think I can answer that for you. Almost positively the set will be stateside. Something you'll quickly learn as an AFOL in the US is that this is the prime place to be for Lego. We get sets earliest and cheapest (by far). Quote

Peeron information Bricklink Stores They have that set (along with the Black sea barracuda and Jet airways (???) ) , because here in malta store get lego but dont sell. I know only onw other person in malta who also collects lego (and we are both quite young) X-D Quote

And also you'll quickly learn that the European Afols are very angry about this on TLC |-/ :-D Quote
