(...) More like "now you have 4 days to pick up any Lego bargains!" Great! Now everyone will think every piece of lego is 'collectable'. No more car boot bargains, no more 'lego for sale' ads in supermarkets, etc Get them bargains while you can. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Wow! I'm glad I watched that, I'd never have believed it otherwise. Very Very impressive. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was pleased. Needless to say, the boat was amazing. His collection was comprehensive (no trains?). Lastly, I was pleased he (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Didn't see any trains - most of the other models they showed were Technic, and I spotted a Mindstorms robot in one shot. The ship was incredible - was it 300,000 pieces he estimated? That's out of a total collection of 1 million! Puts my 25,000 to (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
