  Re: Scans of the 2000 Technic Star Wars droids
 
(...) So it's no wonder that the Technic Star Wars models turned out to be so great! If the 8002 operates like shown on the pictures, than it must be very good designed. (...) Right on! I can hardly wait. Fredrik (27 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
 
  KB Toys: 6444, Advent Calender, Large Silver Bucket
 
I went to my local KB Toys and was able to pick up several 6444s, Advent Calender, and one 1201 Silver tub. All Lego items are 25% off. For those that were unable to get the 6444 online, you might want to try your local KB Toys store. Dan (27 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: LEGO article in Delta magazine
 
(...) Did it mention the LEGO Imagination Center at the Mall of America? The MOA opened in late '91 or early '92, and since Northwest is based in Minneapolis, I am wondering if this is all just a coincidence or if they were promoting the LIC. Steve (27 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
