Oh when I think of the money I'd spend if castle walls were available again. And oh if we could just get them in bulk! No longer would I just sit around and mope. I'd buy so many, there'd be no room for storage I'd even consider taking out a second (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I like the idea, but I'd split into two sets: one bucket with the basics; lots of plates, lots of beams, selection of connectors and axles. one box with extra's; wheels, gears, propellors and stuff. The ides being that you'd get more of the buckets, (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)
