Followups To LUGNET.ORG.US: I knew there was something I was forgetting to ask. I was wondering if there was any interest in some sort of NELUG shirt or other paraphernalia.

I thought that's what I was seeing in the (fairly small) scans posted from the US catlog. Thanks for the confirmation. I was very surprised to see that the 823x sets apparently won't be available here in the US before Christmas. They were smart to (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)

I was going to post a lament on the apparent death of transparent yellow in lego, and its replacement by that ugly (IMHO) transparent fluorescent yellow. Trans-yellow goes a lot better with my creations, especially non-space creations, than that (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
