Hi Mr. Justus, You certainly have a nifty engine shed in the new S@H catalog. Can we buy it??? I was looking for the spruce trees when I thumbed past that and came out of my seat. So......, uh....., can we? If I have to beg, let me know. James (23 years ago, 1-Jan-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I got 20 of the 4593 (what can I say, 20% off at Legoland!!) and all 20 were fine, all had all 4 of the big wheels. (...) YES! The new racer sets are AWESOME!!

I gotta call LEGO tonight, but today I purchased a racers set, #4593 (I also have #4594, & #4583), and received 2 normal large wheels, & 2 of the needed 4 notched larger wheels! This may be a normal accident, but it could be more. After that (...) (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.town)

Dear Lego... ok, now I got your attention, I am pondering here at the marvelous thought of an E.T. Studio set. Why Studio? Cause first of all, it's obviously a movie, but Steven Spielberg! hint, hint! This would be totally brilliant! I would ga ga (...)

Thank you for the much improved Lego Advent calendar this year. There is a good selection of parts, models that are all unique, and some models are rather clever. I wish I could have purchased this through a local retailer, but you probably wish (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

What a great title for a thread!
