(...) It should work like that, yup. They ran through all of Derek's purchases at once and checked in the three buckets and they all went through reimbursed free. We ran out of free buckets in the store we were at :) Calum (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Gail you forgot to mention that by splitting the bills every $50 you got 5 free 500 pieces buckets... Thanks to my wife who read the heads-up message, she "draged" me to the TRU (I didn't resist too much though... ;~)) I got 7 free 500 pieces (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Wow....Wow....Wow. All SW LEGO at 50% off (except the stuff already marked down, that was 75% off total). Jean-Marc was kind enough to give me a ride to the only TRU in the province this evening. The first time I've shopped with another AFOL. (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Run to TRU Canada! I went to the TRU in Kitchener, ON today to think about buying the UCS Yoda (for parts) because you would get a free large Creator bucket. When I got there they were on for half of the $84.95 ($42.48) in addition to almost (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Hey Folks, Was reading FBTB last night and came across a post regarding this subject. Same sets as before however UCS Yoda is half price (84.95). Great way to build that tan inventory! John Battcock (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

That is one of, if not the, best layout I've ever seen. I can tell a lot of work went into that. The only thing I could find wrong with it is the lack of more colors of certain roof pieces, which is, of course, the fault of LEGO Direct. I can't (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca, FTX)
