(...) Or TLC's concept of it. I do plenty of shopping online, but usually when I get notified of a 25% off sale so I know I'm getting at least as good a deal as walking into a store. SAH used to have more unique items. But now most of that is (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.castle)

(...) Agreed that there's nothing like putting your hands on it. But since 99.9% of retailers wouldn't carry the ISD, for instance, would you prefer that we simply don't do it, and concentrate only on things that a retailer *may* decide to stock? (...)

(...) Yuk. I am an avid builder of things that would fit into the castle area, but I don't want to caught dead with such a thing as a "castle wall element". Or wooden palisades.
