Hi Mark,

most of us speak English at some level so please feel free to write your
messages in English.

As for finding good old Lego (and other old toys) during your trip to Italy,
there's no general rule, it's mainly a matter of luck. Anyway, some
suggestions can help you:

- The ideal toy shop is a large one located in the center (or near the
center) of the town. It has the look and feel of a shop that's been there
for years.
- You can find some Lego in other shops too. In Italy there's a typical
kinfd of shop called "cartoleria" that usually sells stationary but
sometimes also toys. Not  big variety and quantity but you could find some
old ones.
- Avoid large chain stores, like Toys'R'Us or TOYS, they're usually not
worth the visit. In the best case you can find some Lego from the current
catalog.
- Don't know much about Venice, but I guess that's not so easy to find toy
shops there. Most of the shops seem to sell stuff for turists (glass things
and so on). As for Rome, Domenico and friends probably didn't leave too much
for you, but Rome is a large city and who knows, you might even find
something they missed :-)

When do you plan to come? We have a Legofest scheduled in Rome on March 17
and 18. If you're there in that period we'll be very glad to meet you.

Ciao
Mario

Ciao. Per favore scusi il mio italiano, perché non è quello grande. Io
viaggero ad Italia alla fine di marzo ed io stavo meravigliandomi dove io
potessi andare per dei buoni negozi di giocattolo. Mentre LEGO è la mia
priorita, io raccolgo qualche i generi di giocattoli, così alcun negozio • di
giocattolo sarebbe grande. Principalmente, io sarò nella Venezia ed aree • di
Roma. Anche, io volero Alitalia da Miami a Milano/Malepanesa. Offrono
gratuitamente alcun dovere di set di LEGO speciale? Come dissi io, il mio
italiano non è quello grande, così una risposta inglese, se Lei parla
inglese, sarebbe grandemente apprcieated. Grazie!

Hi Mark (...) Italy, (...) Not for Rome, in the center there are few toy shops and are very expensive. Maybe you'll find some set in a toy shop opposite Brasil emabassy in piazza Navona. The outskirts are good areas to find something but be (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.it)
