(...) I still have none of my 4... but all are in the mail. 'Tracking' tells me one is waiting for collection in Maidstone and the others were delived to Glanrothes, Famac(?) and Reading last year. Scott A (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: etoys - bad news.
 
(...) Don't trust the tracking. It's completely useless. The handling numbers are re-used, so you're seeing the previous packages with those numbers. The one awaiting collection might be genuine (if the date is good), but you'll probably get it (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)

  Re: etoys - bad news.
 
ROTFL! I love the analogy. Sudden stop to the laughing now, as I recall that none of my etoys acquisitions have been transferred to home from work yet. My wife tore open this month's credit card statement, as usual, before I could get to it. The (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)

  Re: etoys - bad news.
 
Valentine's day. Of course! I may be saved, although I'll probably have to match the cost of the Lego. It's going to have to be a £300+ diamond ring or necklace then. Mutters under breath... "I could have spent that on more Lego." JG Mark Morgan (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
