Long comments: I saw two guys today, when I was at Wal*Mart, they looked at a few models (from Revell) then looked at the legos. They scanned the sets, then turned back to the models an took one, and left. They both seemed interested in the legos, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
