On your webpage you mention the following colours: "white, light gray, bley, dark gray and black". Are you sure that one of the colours is the new colour? Remarkable; I thought they would do a colour-change with all the greys at the same time. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

TRU can be a little funky at times, and I think KB is on the way out anyway. A small town toy store would not likely have (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)
