| | Intelli-Train at Winners

I saw a couple Intelli-Train sets at Winners the other day with red mark-down stickers on them. Not sure why, seeing as its a brand new line, but I decided to take advantage of it. A month too late for the larger set though, since I'd already picked (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Yes, and perhaps I wasn't entirely clear in my initial post. That's what I was trying to express though... that it was my belief that this was the 40th anniversary of that event. Perhaps the linkage to the product that was available was a bit (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Sorry if I wasn't clear. 1998 _was_ the 35th anniversary of LEGO being sold in Canada (originally by Samsonite). LEGO Canada (sniff, I miss S@H Canada) took over from Samsonite around 1988/89 (I have a 1988 Samsonite catalogue, and a 1989 LEGO (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) I thought about this some more. I took a look at one of the buckets. It says, "35 Years of Building Imaginations". 35 years must mark some sort of event, anniversary etc. 35 years from what beginning point? Granted they may have been (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) If that's the case, then you're likely correct. No need to celebrate 30 years. It just seemed odd to me that we got the "35th" buckets and then this year there was just nothing. So... was LEGO in Canada in 1963 then? It was my impression that (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) I think you are missing something big here. We didn't have 35th anniversary buckets in Canada because it was the 35th anniversary of LEGO being sold in Canada, we had repackaged (different outer bucket, no silver 2 x 4 brick) buckets from the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

| | 40th Anniversary of LEGO in Canada?
|
|
I was wondering if anyone else was wondering this.... Since 1998 brought us the 35th anniversary buckets and tubs here in Canada I was thinking that 2003 must then be the 40th anniversary of LEGO in Canada. However, I suspect that since we haven't (...)
