Hi everyone! It was a great weekend at Legoland. It was my son's first time. He's 5 and hasn't really been bitten by the LEGO bug. He loves Star Wars, so I thought this might be a good tie-in. It was! He's eat, sleeping and breathing LEGOs. The ISD (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.org.us.sandlug, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, I had to think about this one because I want to keep on good terms with the park. A park rep gave us a "suggested idea" after Sunday's ISD build and I personally feel it would be better for a park or company rep (like Jake) to make an (...)

(...) Actually there were 4 R2D2s. The park had recently replaced the LEGO R2D2 at the front. And one of the tech guys at the park decided to retrofit the old one with RC control and motors of the feet and head. Most of the old figures in the park (...)

It was a great weekend at the park. OK, so there wasn't the vast number of MOCs you would see at a fest but there were enough there that it certainly impressed the viewing public. Even with all the kids there, the only MOC that endured a tough time (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.org.us.sandlug, lugnet.starwars)

I'd rent a car and drive (or maybe catch a ride with another AFOL?). I think the Coaster's Northernmost stop is Oceanside, though the San Diegans can correct me on that one.. I think you could take the Surfliner to Oceanside and then the Coaster (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.legoland.california)
