Hello. Here in the Netherlands, I have discovered something very odd. Baron von Barron has another name--and what's more, he has some kind of connection to my beloved Femme Fatale. He's called "Alex Gluipstra." She's "Alexis Gluipstra." Now, I'm (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

I bought it, along with nine other small sets, on Crete (I was there, and I had some cash left over, and figured the best way to get rid of them was to spend them on LEGO ^-^). If you're curious, this is what I found: 1184 1185 1182 1186 3055 (in a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
