Dear Lego, Are there any plans to open a Lego Imagination Center in the Seattle area? How 'bout an outlet? Please? We're kind of stranded up here in the Northwest. We got nothin' :^( ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Interesting you should say that. A diorama at the Orlando LIC had a hive of the Insectoids burying the skeletons of Roboforce bodies. It was pretty wild. The Roboforce was mounting a rescue in another corner. I guess they were too late ;-) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
