| | Collector's Items
|
|
I'm a minifig nut... I'll admit it. I collect them like action figures. I've thought TLG aims for my kind to a certain degree. Let's examine the facts: 1)When I got my last S@H catalogue, they advertized an Insectoid set (2965) that pushed the fact (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-98, to lugnet.announce)

| | 1999 Sets
|
|
I have been extremely privileged in that I have seen the range of sets to be released in 1999. I think most people will be impressed; I know I was. The two Model Team sets look great. Grahame Reid (26 years ago, 22-Nov-98, to lugnet.announce)

| | New 1999 Catalog Anyone?
|
|
Hasn't anyone found a new 1999 LEGO catalog in any of their purchases? I'm surprised, as Irving found his here on the West side of the States, and no one on the East, or MidWest. Post to Lugnet if found!!! We're all itching here!! :-) jeremy (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.announce)

Hi All- Unverified report that the 1999 sets have arrived at the Tigard TRU, in Portland, Oregon. I just got off the phone with the TRU rep., and he said they have some of them in. I'm going to run down there now to verify. -jeremy Portland, Oregon (26 years ago, 14-Nov-98, to lugnet.announce)

Good news -- you can now connect here via NNTP using ports 8000 and 8080, in addition to the standard NNTP port 119. If 119 (the default) works just fine for you, then there's nothing you need to change. Otherwise if you're behind a firewall or (...) (26 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)
