(...) Looks like the game's over. Still a few good prices though. Anyone still looking for the larger "cowboy" Wild West sets would be well advised to pay them a visit.

You are a right. I think very few AFOLs are aware of RTL. Even less know about LUGNet. My auctions on ebay generate a lot of questions which makes a it clear to me that many are not aware of RTL/LUGNet. Additionally, RTL is slowly dying I think... (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
