Hi All

Random question. I picked up City Square 60097 in a bundle and have started to
part out to complete the set.

It came with books 5 & 8, but looking at what sellers have got most other people
seem to only have same books

Does anyone know why? Did the set only come with these 2 (seems odd if it did)?

Thanks in advance

Maybe people sold it ‘piecewise’ with instructions for each piece (tram | copter
| truck | …).

I thought that but it's always the same 2 books that everyone seems to have
for sale.

Okay, it’s the other way around: #5 is the LEGO store and #8 is the tram, so
they’d be more wanted than the other submodels.

If the rest doesn’t sell (or for not enough compared to shipping), then the sellers
don’t list them.
Especially as they are ‘meh’ submodels and available as PDFs.

I don’t have instructions or ship anywhere but the US, but I see lots of entries
for all the books from many sellers.

  I don’t have instructions or ship anywhere but the US [...]

My stats are for 2021 around 50% local, 25% Europe, 25% rest of the world.

Of course this ratio has changed every year depending politics, covid, war(s),
currency rates and so on...

But why would anyone restrict sales to his own Country (even a huge one - I must
admit)?

I know shipping price can be a problem, but hey, say you get ONLY 10 or 20% more
business shipping Internationaly? Why wouldn't you do this?

And you've close friends, the ones with the Maple Dollars , and the Southern
ones!
Why do me, myself, have to ship to Brazil every week or so?

Frankly, there's no good reason not to ship elsewhere - apart if you don't
wish or need this business, but then it's another story
