I now have my one. Personally, I 'm a little miffed at being expected to pay full rrp for large *online* purchases *and* pay postage. I'm especially miffed at being expected to pay a premium to have the package arrive within 2 weeks. The outcome: My (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Indeed. They did it before. Ever see the figures available during the mid 1970's? They had Town sets, but no mini-fig as we think of it. And during the 80's, it wasn't called System with a logo. The boxes just had the word LEGOLAND stamped on (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
