(...) I've just realised that I've got a Toymaster near me (I knew the shop was there but didn't think it was a TM). I might give them a ring - see what the deal is. Carbon 60 (25 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) I tried searching on "lego", "technic", and "battle" (as in droid) and I couldn't find it either. Beleive me, if I could and they were willing to ship overseas... eric, eavesdropping Yank (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
