I'll add another entry to this fun thread - though far less serious as my
last one. (and about as off topic as you can get)
I have a few favorite stores at some local malls which feed the Lego need.
I am frequently found spending lots of money for both my personal collection
and my eBay sales. The local management company that manages many of my
frequent malls is Westcor(I'm sure there should be a TM or (C) here).
Westcor has lots of gimmicks. Recently my Lego purchases of $200 or more in
one day has amounted to:
2 certificates for $30 off of shoes at Foot Locker
8 Tickets to see the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team.
6 $20 Westcor gift certificates
2 Tickets to see the Arizona Coyotes Hockey team.

| Hi, everyone. I was going through a few things here at my home in Michigan, and I ran across something odd that I'd forgotten about. It got me thinking: What kind of true oddities that have some connection to LEGO--themed items, promotional things, (...) (22 years ago, 20-Oct-02, to lugnet.general) !
