A medieval city was nothing if it wasn't varied, and the more detailed and different houses, the better! I'd love (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

In lugnet.castle, Dave Schuler wrote about Intelliblox I wrote to Playmates a year ago and received a reply that, no, they were not doing further LOTR playsets. Also that TRU had some left. (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)
