I was @ Winners yesterday and they had several LEGO sets (and a few cheapo brands including a large pirate ship.) I bought the two Jurassic Park III sets or my son for Xmas for less than half list price I think. There was also the Technic-style (...)

I was wondering if anyone from the Victoria area was interested in going to NWBrickcon in Seattle in October?

I certainly understand privacy issues as I work in the IT section at the UVic Library. We have to deal with lots of online privacy issues. Perhaps people would be more comfortable meeting at a coffee shop or restaurant. This would allow a more (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.loc.ca.bc.vic, lugnet.org.ca.viclug)

(...) We do have them, the last one was more than a year ago- generally, it is informal, and kind of by invite, because of the fact that it is almost always held at a VICLUG members home, and some of us are more privacy worried than others. If you (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.loc.ca.bc.vic, lugnet.org.ca.viclug)

(...) I am trying to post this to both so that anyone else who comes along does not miss out. Perhaps the VicLUG (lugnet.org.ca.viclug) group should be for club "business" and loc.bc.ca.vic for more general stuff? But I am getting waaaay ahead of (...)

Hi! I guess I should have looked more. I posted a message to: lugnet.org.ca.viclug which has seen no traffic but mine for months.

I've seen these knock-off sets at various times in Ontario. They turned up a couple of years ago at Home hardware, but disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared. I picked up an assortment at a dollar store in guelph last spring as well. As (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)
