 | | Windy Canada Day
|
| What a windy Canada Day here in Ottawa. I had two Arctic Ice Surfer sets sitting in front of an open window. When I arrived home that night, I found that both of them had sailed across the room! Just as Lego boats can really float, Lego Ice Surfers (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)

|
| (...) Actually, I kind of like the Jack Stone sets. It would be nice if they were a little cheaper, but they actually look half decent, and they've got some neat parts. It would be real cool if the stucture parts were available in large quantities, (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.tor, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| Personally, I wouldn't buy the Jack Stone sets for anybody... first price vs. quality factor... those sets are trash....plain and simple If your children are young ~5 to 8....Creator line is a lot better. Age 6 to 9...the town junior sets (still (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.tor, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| Hi, Just came home from Zellers....they have all the Jack Stone sets now...I bought two for my boys. I only bought the small $4.99 sets since it seems like the others are wayyyyyy over priced...$19.99, 29.99 and 69.99. However, the $4.99 sets were (...)

And I still don't have any of the baseplates with cutout AND buffers. I only (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

I also love the classic clean style of it's design. Play well. Tim (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

| Hi, Yes, the nice thing about my red hoppers is they don't require any rare parts (like inverse corner slopes or 2x2 wall panels). I just used the 6x6 starwars quad inverse cutout slope dealy and it gives a nice hopper effect. You can make a lot of (...)
