We were some of the unfortunate ones who went to see the fireworks, and sat down by the water freezing our butts off for 2 hours before they told us that they were cancelled because of the wind. It's good to hear from (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)

| 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)

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)

| (...) Thanks. I'm particularly pleased with that car. It's a perfect duplicate of the Blue Hopper, except the base plate. And it took a while to get those 4 inverse corner slopes. 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 (...)
