Does anyone have spare unopened copies (for trade or sale) of 2729 and 2744 from the 1999 McDonalds promo in the UK? I have vgc duplicates of 2719 and 2728, plus 2742 and 2759 that are unopened but average (crinkly cellophane due rough handling). (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Now Woolworths seem to have stopped offering Lego online. They have one remaining set listed at half price, the 8236 for £2.50 + £1.50 p&p. You may even be lucky enough to find them in your local store. May be useful for parts (green technic + (...) (23 years ago, 25-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)

The tanker is 8-wide! Well, we knew that anyway: the tanks are 8-studs in diameter, but a bit short for the baseplate - they finish 2-3 studs before the end... Those weathered Octan signs seem to be an odd departure though! As is currently the norm, (...) (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)

Wow, Mechano... Once upon a time (1976) my Erector collection (of course, shared with my older brother) was larger and more versatile than my little pile of red and white Lego. That's because it was a hand-me-down from my grandfather. I wonder where (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk)
