I just recieved 2 6560's from KBKids.com for about $35 each (origonally, they were $70). The piece collection in this set is hard to see since Lugnet doesn't have instructions posted. However, I decided to take a chance, and I'm glad I did? Each set (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

Nope - Never been there. Sounds cool though! I got the idea for the periodic show from hotels in Las Vegas like the Mirage, the Belagio, and Treasure Island. These hotels put on lavish (and undoubtedly expensive) shows every hour (or even more (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

I ask, since they recently (a year or so) added a fairly large mechanical dragon in the "Silver Cities" theatre complex. It puts on an interesting show (...)
