(...) Thanks for the tip - I thought they'd sold out completely. I've just ordered five, along with a motor and some more sand-red bulk bricks. I guess I'll not be buying one of those discount X-Wings after all... Jason J Railton (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Running out of 9v wires is a common problem! The bulk bricks section of Lego Shop At Home still has individual 9cm 9v leads for the rather steep price of £3.99 each (item no. 5041). I'm sure they used to do some 28cm leads as well, but they (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Hi, Just a "heads-up" for anyone intending to go to this - we went to yesterday's show and arrived about 3PM. The queue stretched out onto the public road and staff were turning away anyone without a pre-purchased ticket or season pass! Apparently (...)
