| | | Do your Legoland police need a new place to hang out? One with a little more style than that Dunkin' somethin' down the street? One that is well-protected? Send 'em to Joe's!

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! Yes, I have to admit some inspiration from Pizza Hut. Though it seems like a number of other large chains also use a similar roof shape. (...) Yes, the sign is two studs thick and the back half is studded to the roof plates. As you've (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

And I've been in real donut shops whose interior was that cramped. Cheers, -The Rev. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) Legoland's finest have to keep their sugar source secure! Ever since the WTO conference in Seattle a few years back, I've wanted a good excuse to use some cops in riot gear. A donut shop is a little iffy perhaps, but it works and is socially (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) Heh, that's a trade secret. Actually, there's a little shop in Legoland California that sells by weight and occasionally has some rather unusual parts. When I saw those tiles, I knew exactly what I was going to do with them. -- Tony Hafner (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) Do you mind sharing which shop or shops are the best for finding unusual parts? I noticed a couple of these shops last year at BricksWest, but it was right before closing and I didn't have time to look for cool parts. I also remember there (...)

| | | | | mmmm... donuts. Sorry. I just had a Homer moment. I am particularly envious of your pile of chrome pipe pieces, of which I have exactly NONE. waaaaah! As usual, apart from the overall classiness, your model is loaded with neat little touches that (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) The chrome bits are usually used to add tiny accents (ie tailpipes), but can be really cool in quantity. I'd love to have a whole town filled with these lampposts, but I don't expect I'll get to do that. I remember seeing a train a long time (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)

| | | | Tony, Great model. That roof design looks great, and the color scheme is very striking and very remniscent of fast food chains. I also like the little flip-up counter. That's a detail I wouldn't have remembered to include, so my minifigs would have (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)
