  Matt's Roller Coaster is Back!
 
I will be showing my roller coaster one last time at (URL) PDX> this February. If you want to see it in action, come to this event, because it will be taken apart afterwards (unless someone decides they want to own it for themselves, of course). See (...)

  Prochaine rencontre ?
 
Bonjour membres de Monlug. J'aimerais participer à une de vos prochaines rencontres. Pierre m'avais invité il y a quelques mois, mais je préférais attendre d'être mieux installé dans mon nouveau domicile et d'avoir réglé certains détails (comme (...)

  extra 20% off LEGO at Sears Clearance centre
 
Greetings, While looking for boxing day sales on LEGO, I noticed that the Sears Clearance Centre has an additional 20% off all toys, starting at 7 am tomorrow and running until Saturday January 3nd. Their prices are usually about 30% off retail to (...) (21 years ago, 26-Dec-03, to lugnet.loc.ca.ns.hal)
 
  Sale @TRU in Canada
 
TRU are having a 25% off sale on all Lego. Not sure if it ends the 24th or runs until the 26th. Lots of new 2004 sets on the shelves (SW,etc) It's pays to be a last minute shopper! Kevin (21 years ago, 20-Dec-03, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.org.ca, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: New SW sets yet?
 
(...) I'm pretty sure they had all the new sets at PlayValue in Ottawa on Friday. Also saw some new ones including all minis at Carlingwood Sears last week. Play well. Tim Strutt (21 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  Re: New SW sets yet?
 
I saw the new X-wing and Snowspeeder at Zellers last weekend. They also had the new designer houses set a few weeks ago, but it seems to be gone now. Kevin (...) (21 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  Hobby Show thoughts and afterthoughts
 
It's been a few weeks since the The Hobby Show in Toronto: (URL) I'm curious to know what you think now that some time has passed. The 'you' I'm hoping to hear from is anyone who was a booth participant, anyone who came by to visit, anyone who (...)

  Re: Canadian Flag Flower Mosaic
 
(...) This is the coolest MOC I've seen using flowers. I got to see this in person, and it looks even better than pictures can show. Great work Jason. Tim Strutt (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  Re: Canadian Flag Flower Mosaic
 
(...) WoW, that is so well done that i'm proud to say your creation makes me feel patriotic! The ground level-rise effect displays the flowers nicely. Reminds me of either the flower advertising on the lakeshore in Toronto, of down in Niagara Falls (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.loc.ca, FTX)
 
  Re: New SW sets yet?
 
(...) It's hard to imagine (from the outside) what those reasons might be. Is it a valid observation that the Canadian holiday season starts more gradually and somewhat earlier that the US one? That's my thinking but I'm not sure. It seemed that way (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  Toys R Us sale...
 
I don't know if this is local only, or is it nation-wide, but... I seen all LEGO Discover sets (that's the Nasa-based ones) for 20% off. (URL) in all except the 10029 Lunar Lander, because currently that is a Shop@Home exclusive). Plus, $5 off the (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  Re: New SW sets yet?
 
(...) Are these dates the decisions of the North American aspects of the company? Or are these dates reflective of the mothership's inability to grasp the concept (like it or not) of the Xmas shopping season? I somehow feel that if LEGO Canada could (...)

  Re: New SW sets yet?
 
IT'S NUTS, but that's LEGO Canada. I know dealers in USA getting stock closer to 10-15 December, and UNLIMITED AMOUNT, basically forces anyone up here who wants it to try Amazon.Com, or contacts in USA. NOT NICE! But they run the show. (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: How is the 7470 compare to the old 1682 or 6399 shuttle set?
 
Hi Iris, (...) Set 7470 is not built for minifigs. Instead, it is a semi-detailed model of the Discovery. It's much bigger than the shuttles in the old shuttle sets, such as 1682 or 6339 (but not as big as the 8480 technic shuttle). Calum wrote a (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  How is the 7470 compare to the old 1682 or 6399 shuttle set?
 
(...) Just wonder whether anyone has opened the new shuttle set 7470 and how does it compare to the old shuttle sets, you know the one with the station etc. I think it is the 1682 or 6399? Any comments will be appreciated. Trying to figure out if it (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

I spoke with the buyer at my local mom & pop toy store (the only place other than Zellers to buy LEGO here) and she told me they are expecting an order next week. It sounded like a (...)

  Re: New SW sets yet?
 
Well you won't find much at any small store till After December 15-20th at least, LEGO is not shipping to Canadian dealers till the 15th so depending on how close they are they might have stock, but very limited, one case of each item and that's it.

Sears Yorkdale has the new minis at $8 a pop 4492 Mini Star Destroyer 4493 Mini Sith Infiltrator 4494 Mini Imperial Shuttle 4495 Mini AT-TE Otherwise, their LEGO selection has gone from poor to abysmal.
