Just a while ago I got a call from the Georgia LEGO Outlet. They are getting some new old stuff in, and apparently are calling people who have placed orders there and soliciting pre-orders. Neato! (26 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

In the end, this is all moot. I'm keeping the pics to myself, and should have never brought it up. As a webmaster of sorts, it's very easy to jump out and say "look what I've got!" I should have gone to LEGO and asked, like I am doing now. If LEGO (...) (26 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
