Huh!
I ordered the Blue Turbo (for the wife for Christmas) and the big adventurers
set from Toy City (and got the latest Harry Potter FoC!) when it looked like I
would be at home to handle the delivery...
And then my schedule changed...
I came home from London to find that Caron had intercepted the box, shaken it
and decided to investigate... :-(
BTW: The *best* way to get the wife to accept your Lego habit is to
encourage her to cultivate one of her own! Scene: TRU, Calais. Caron: "It's a
METROLINER! IT'S A METROLINER!!!"
Cheers! And the season's greetings!
