I have been to play value a few times and picked some good older stuff,
as well as the droid developer kit and cyberslam (I think? - for the
cheap motor and beams). Didn't see the deals you listed about though -
may have to check it out this week. Anything left or did you guys clean
it out? :)

> 8250 Search Sub - $42.50
Wow! Which Zellers was this? I thought I had hit every Zellers in the
Ottawa area, and I have never seen these 2 sets. Good find...
The best find I've had is an 8277 and multiple sets of 6444.

This sounds pretty good. Right now I am collecting 9V first, but if any
cool train purchase opportunity arises on ebay, I will take it. I had a
7710 and 7816 when I was a kid, and I am now working on the 9V line. I
grabbed the 7816 when I was home at Christmas and left the 7710 and old
4.5 volt track set up in my parents basement for my niece to play with.
In any case they were still in great condition.
This is what I've managed to get so far in 9V:
2126
3225 - should be arriving in the next week from Brickbay
4532
4536 x2 - love this car. Man I wish I had been into lego when this came
out in '91, I would have bought 10's of them! Instead now they average
$50+ U.S.
4537
4555 Should be coming from Germany, but it is taking a long time -
hopefully it arrives soon.
4561
4563 Another sweet deal from Europe.
I am also looking for a 4558, but not yet.
In any case, I have a nice little layout in the corner of my living room
- enough so my girlfriend isn't too concerned :) I am hoping to get a
digital camera soon so I can post some pictures of it and my MOCs.
Other than train stuff, I am getting close to Star Wars complete, just
missing a few of the bigger sets (Falcon, UCS TIE, maybe a couple
others). I also enjoy the Adventurers sets - especially the planes. I
really like the Pontoon Plane and Island Hopper.
