Jake, Any truth to ther rumor that the LEGO Warehouse looks like the last scene in the Speilberg Movie, "Raiders of the Lost Arc?" It might mean some interesting "finds" in the future. I could as an amateur archeologist offer to come to the LEGO (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.market.shopping)
