I have to admit that I am disappointed at the volume of bids on the lots I've listed on SC. Given the voracious bidding on the boats in the "500" auction I expected some serious bidding on these. Don't make me list them on eBay! :-) (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

LOL As if anyone would want to copy that crap that TLG uses at their parks! (At least in CA) Those *aren't* LEGO trains, but rather hybrids that would be scorned in a *pure* group like this. Just because an employee of TLG built it, it doesn't mean (...) (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

Scott, In 2004, when they open up the three permanent downtown Detroit Casino's (MGM Grand, Circus Circus, etc) on the riverfront (800 million dollars each), there will probably be something like the "Caesar's World of Shops" (in Las Vegas).
