Hi Folks,

The only thing The Amersham Entertainer had of interest recently was the the
FOS general set (8456). marked down to 20 quid like Beatties. I figure this set
can't have been all that popular at full price. Other than that set, the
January Sale. was a real non-event as far as I'm concerned, and I haven't been
in there since.

A note for those with Mindstorms: 8456 makes a great expansion set at this
price, as the FOS unit can be used as an impromtu rotation sensor, and the
Green/Black colour theme goes with the rest of the Mindstorms stuff.

My last purchase was the 8462 Recovery truck from Argos - Yes, I weakened too.
I only got that earlier this week so I shan't be lego hunting this weekend,
I'ts about time I built something instead of keep stacking unopened sets in the
cupboard, and tinkering with NQC. :)

Regards, Dave Ryder.
