thanks for the info!
I didn't even know we had Shell Stations here. I never go near any of them
in my travels...
BTW, do you have the numbers from the sets so I could look them up in the
database before going to buy them?
cheers!

Just so that we all don't have to make so many phone calls, Following is the
list of participating Shell stations in the state of Wisconsin, as provided
by a very helpful lady at Shell consumer affairs. YMMV
The first station I went to in the Milwaukee area had all sets in stock, and
as long as I was spending at least $10 on gas, etc they were not limiting me
to how many sets I could buy (although I'm sure they could).
If you used your Shell credit card, you could save $5 on any of the three
larger sets. Prices were $25.99 for the Ferrari, $9.99 each for the Pitstop
and Belville sets, and $1.49 for each of the ten little sets.
Enjoy!

Get after John Gerlach, not me.. :-) ... , he registered the domain
(gmltc.org) and is setting up the website... he has all the pics and is
busily scanning, I understand. I was just asked to put this one on my
website so everyone will know that this group is for real. (Seems to be
doing the trick of building up interest, though...)

They are very very supportive of the GC goals and operations, several of
the club members are GC volunteer workers or work for firms that sponsor
GC, or support the GC with stuff like artwork, publicity, etc. etc. I
dunno if GC would welcome other groups or not. Good question.

Did they have to pull special strings to get space there at the GC or does
the GC welcome mega-serious builders? In any event (ha, pun), what a
great display for the GC!!!

How about melting down old bricks into a colorful slurry and painting with
ABS? :)

Chippewa Valley is Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. I'm the Chippewa
Falls
person so there must actually be someone else in Eau Claire that is an
AFOL.
Thanks, I was just originally curious who else was reading the group.
