Would anyone like to meet up at that event? Well, a mini meet up, unless there's more Scottish lurkers that I know about! Nothing too formal, but safety in numbers as we wade our way through crowds of kids *ahem*. (...) heh heh heh. Just as you (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I did some digging and it does indeed seem that this offer hasn't made it on to the website :-( I'm told that will soon be rectified. I know it exists as I have a Biker Bob on top of my monitor :-) However if anyone can't wait, the book can be (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

An update of sorts: The shop's name is Ottakar's. The model is of the McIntosh Rose (no idea what this is, any suggestions?). A meet may be a bad idea, as that day is when England beat... sorry, play Scotland at Hampden in the Euro qualifiers, and (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I got more of the low-down from staff in the Ottakar shop today. The rose is indeed the Charles Rennie McIntosh version referred to previously. DK and Lego are running the show, so the lassie didn't know what the free gifts were to be, though she (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
