  Re: Christmas in July!
 
(...) They seem to be pretty common here in the Boston area - TRUs all over the place are carrying them, as well as a couple of smaller toy stores. I'm tempted to buy (esp. for the beards!) but I know I could never wait until Xmas, and it's cheating (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Blimey - I just had a look at the piccy on lugnet. It's got those transparent roof bricks like they used to have on car windscreens in the 70s in it. Todd - buy some to auction on Auczilla - quick! Simon (URL) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Christmas in July!
 
Yeah! I found set 1298 (Advent Calendar) at my local TRU in Anderson, SC for 19.99. There were four, with a shelf space and sticker for them. Of course I bought one, how could I resist? Anyone else seen these in the US? Anyone know if S@H is going (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

Uh, WHERE in TRU - in the Lego section, or elsewhere? I didn't see any in the Sunnyvale TRU as of 2 days ago, and I need to know if I need to look all over the store! I gotta decide if I'm going to drive to the next nearest TRU to get a couple. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) In the Whitehall, PA TRU these were in the LEGO section. Beware though that if you're "quick scanning" the shelves you may miss them. The box is marked "classic" but doesn't really stand out like I expected it too. In fact, I was there two (...) (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

<snip> Guys, is there a pic somewhere of this calendar? Don't think we have it here in Holland, and I'm really curious what it looks like... (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Christmas in July!
 
(...) It's a funny coincidence that I saw these today at the Monrovia (Los Angeles area) TRU. They have at least 8 or 9. I was wondering why no body on Lugnet had posted anything about them. If anyone really needs one give me an email and we'll work (...) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Christmas in July!
 
Checked three TRUs in the Raleigh area (Raleigh, Durham, and Cary) and no sign of the Advent Calendar set here. Figures ... in fact the Raleigh TRU just underwent some sort of a reorganization. The new layout is awful. It kind of reminds of a maze. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
