(...) Kids are the members. I *think* it's July(/August?), with Spaceport on the cover. In each issue, there is a two-page spread with photos kids (or kids++) have sent in, showing what they've built. Ed Boxer's White Castle appeared on those pages (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, that was it. Not quite as nice as some stuff that's been announced here on Lugnet, but still quite cool. Mania magazine should do an article on those nutty adults who play with LEGO and put their creations on websites. Steve (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
