Well said and very good of you to let the boy have the set, I feel your pain, it's hapened to me way too many times. I do agree with you on how annoying it is to see someone who just bought 80 copies of Mos espa podrace when you don't even have one, (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.general)
