10. He didn't back up all of my image files for me 9. He never returns my calls 8. I don't know how to pronounce "maj.com." Madge? Mage? Modge? 7.

Just finished building 10181. It is a great piece. However, it is rather flimsy which seems to be a continuing problem with the large new sets. What else I saw was a slight variation in the shade of the bricks. Even within the same kind of brick I (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
