(...) They could put the new-new stuff in the catalog, with blurbs like "Available September 1st!". Seems like they do that already, sometimes. But Maybe I've misremembering... Steve (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

Can someone verify this for me. If you try it out, I suggest you pick an easy level to try it on. I was showing a friend how to get through some of the levels, without showing him the best way through, (got to let him think a little bit) and when I (...)

I really liked the short clip featuring the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch in the middle of the Camelot scene! That's not in the original Camelot scene, is it? Fredrik (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
