Whoa! That is quite the expensive purchase.
I hope you get some good stuff in there. I couldn't justify it to myself,
but that's just because I would be looking to spend that much on a single
4558 Metroliner train. <grin>
By the way, I noticed that auction said USA only. Did they agree to ship
all that way up here to the foreign country of Canada? <grin>
I hope we can get a meeting together soon. Maybe bring some MOC's this time.
Jude did the first time, but we all need to do a little show-and-tell.
I haven't had any real good scored lately. Although I was at the LEGO outlet
store in St. Jacob's (outside Waterloo) and picked up some straight track
and a LEGO keychain. It was a hard call, but I went with the LEGO brick
rather than the minifig. There was a wide selection of minifigs though.
Anyways, gotta get to bed. Tomorrow is my son's 1st birthday. Big day.
TTYL. Play well.

Ya, I got outta hand on that one. I was hoping that the seller would say "No...don't ship to Canada". But he replied that it was fine. So like you said I had better enjoy the box. Heading to the Outlet store myself. Any requests from down here? Jeff (...) (25 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

The lot that you won looks well worth it! But, what I don’t understand is why people go out and buy such new sets only to sell them within a year? (I saw that there was an R2 D2 in your lot, therefore I'm assuming that the seller only recently (...)
