|
Hello to all. I was in the Big KMart near my house this evening, and spotted two Technic 8022 sets on the shelf. (These are from 93-94, I think). They were stickered at $14.59, but I've been in enough KMarts with old stock to know better than (...) (26 years ago, 14-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

My advice for your trip to Billund is double check to make sure the outside areas of the park are open, as the official opening date seems to change from year to year. I think the outside part opens last weekend in March or first in April. Yes, (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

I visited in 1989, and took what was supposed to be a day trip out of Hamburg, Germany. Because of the train ride into Denmark and bus trip from the train station to Legoland, we knew our time at the park would be somewhat short. We took the (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
