|
| (...) I'm glad I made somebody's day! Since I don't buy Castle sets, you guys got me beat in a few areas. The low sloped and steep sloped corners in blue are going to be my next acquisition in 2000. They are in Ninja and the new Castle sets. You (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

One is that we shouldn't expect any great bargains in purchasing via bulk orders. I don't think TLC is going to undercut (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

The LEGO Train system has, as it appears, the rarest of all classic LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
