(...) Actually squids have 10 arms! I think the new Alpha Team sets, especially the squid sub, are the best stuff that I've seen from Lego for 2002. Roll on the Star Wars Episode II sets! Cheers, Paul. (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I say get the Dark Lord! Just not from shop@home. Their prices are totally out of hand (in Europe, at least). Granted, the box is WAY too large, but the set contains almost exclusively very small parts so the box has to be huge in order to justify (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Hi, I have been lurking on Lugnet for quite some time now and have been reading the Lego Red Letter Day thread with great interest. I would like to be part of the group of you that are talking about going on the 6th April. I have posted a few times (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I suppose I should go and have a look at the bridge - seeing as I only live a few miles away. I had heard of it recently but didnt realise it was such an old structure. I'll have to see if I can find plans for it -- James Stacey ---...--- (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

You can count me on too. My only concern is that if I get very busy at work, I may have to decline few weeks before. But I'll do my best to come. 1kg legos is always good, except if it is 2*4 bricks ! Gael (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Sorry if you have all seen this before, but I noticed in the new s@h catalogue a bulk doors and windows pack - 9274, 172 pieces. I thought funny, I was looking through bulk on-line yesterday and didn't notice it. So I went back and typed the set (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.town, lugnet.lego.direct)

OK guys, who is up for: Sunday 7 April at 9:30am?!? Sounds like the preferred option at the mo. Then we get all afternoon to wander around the park too :-) If we can come up with enough definite names, we (i.e. Linda) should be able to negotiate a (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Ok, I would prefer April, with August being second. I won't be able to the May date. Can I suggest that we have a roll call & try to book it on Friday or Monday? If anyone can't make it, they can always book one of the other days :-) Tony On Wed, 9 (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
