Hi All, I found this one a few weeks back, but didn't get around to mentioning it here. I was cruising the local thrift stores and found an 8720 Technic Power Pack at Goodwill. Not being a Technic sort of guy (1), I saw it and thought, ho hum, then (...) (26 years ago, 29-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) This is an excellent approach to a LUGNET Faq. Which, I have grown convinced, is the bigger need. An r.t.l alt-faq can easily grow out of such a thing as well, but a LUGNET faq fairly screams from the sort of cooperation I think would make a (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Why not an alternative FAQ?? The unauthorised, Kitty Kelly version, for instance? Quote, and give credit to, where it is due, or reference it extensively? It could be the official Lugnet FAQ/unofficial RTL FAQ.... Larry Pieniazek wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Has anyone done it yet? Based on the Pause listed prices, it will be about $115 retail for the initial five sets. Figure 10% or so S@H mark-up and it's about $125 to reserve your first Star Wars Lego for delivery. This is certainly doable, but I'm (...)
