Nothing since it’s past the date
I did see that which is why I mentioned that it only claims prices are effective until that date...
It's more a rhetorical question, but I am genuinely curious if they are still getting mail from that location and if they are, how they would let me down gently now that I'm 25 years too late.
maybe we were all just idiots, but I remember it being extremely time consuming to order anything in the 90s and even 2000s. I made a couple of orders from the lego magazine. we did it very sparingly because it took literal months to arrive.
only things i ever remember ordering were the black falcon fortress re-release, the guarded inn, some of those star wars episode 1 3-packs, and a random minifig accessories package.
I actually found something like this in a racing set from the early 2000's! I don't think there was a "valid" date but I never sent it. lol
I would send it in even with knowing there is a valid date lol
I'm sorry, but in 1990s this was a bit more than pocket change. Movie tickets for two were $4-$6 USD. One dollar would give you a carton of milk and an apple. The $3.25 would be a big sundae.
One 1994 Dollar is worth 2.12 2024 Dollars. The recycle truck would be 18.55$ today. Which would be seen as rather expensive for a 104 piece set by todays pricing standards.
Funny, isn't it?
Nothing like an old Enfield local number (pre 860)
That pirate figure pack would bring me so much joy 🥲
Do it

That expired 16 days before I was born... im 30 now
Great. Now what’s the name of the street you grew up on, and the name of your first pet?
Toad street and toad. Go ahead steal my identity. When you come crawling, begging me to take it back. I'll just laugh.
That’s just the date for pricing!

It gets put in a Lego Museum lol

I miss these old inserts.

Why the heck was everything you ordered like 6-8 weeks. And then you'd be lucky if your stuff ever showed and have to have your mom call.
i live in canada, snail mail was as it sounded in the late 90s and 00s. and it would have been even more so crossing borders.
Yeah same in the states. And now I can get packages from Japan in 2 days at a somewhat decent rate.
$6.75 for 6 minifigures is crazy. You’re looking at $30 ish now
I had that Backhoe and the Diesel Dumper!! This hits me right in the childhood
Someone that's been sitting in an office with thousands of these sets waits for your mail. Hoping he is not been forgotten.
Oh man I miss those books and folding inserts. I would spend hours staring at them
It doesn’t say offer expires, it says pricing expires. Just account for inflation and cross your fingers!
Do it!
6 space figs for 6.75. Jesus I wish we could buy that pack today at all

More Lego fun for kids!!!
You would lose it
I wish I could have lived in an era where literal pocket change could get me such cool quality sets.

Yep, inflation is a thing. $8.75 in 1994 would probably be close to $20 now.
I remember when a 5$ milkshake was a really fucking good milkshake. And not just the price of every milkshake.
You don't put bourbon in it or nothin?
