    Re: (was: Kmart 20% off Toys) different RBR —Pete White
   (...) Wrong RBR, on the other thread, RBR stands for Rebel Blockade Runner, not the Red Beard Runner which had the casually used acronym first.

     (...) Thanks Richie, I saw that in the subject header, but the message didn't confirm it, so I wasn't sure. This is the problem with having a 'No Junk Mail' sign on my mail box and not watching television very much. (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

   (...) Up here at least the 6290 was labelled on-shelf as "The Marauder". (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

        Re: (was: Kmart 20% off Toys) different RBR —Pete White
   (...) Yes, that shot from the rear is a much better angle of the RBR-PBS-M. They might have moved a bit quicker off the shelves with better box art. (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

   (...) I remain quite pleased they moved no faster than they did ;-). (And still some left to move, too.) Cheers Richie (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
