|
| | | As in what a funny suggestion, as opposed to finding any any- where. I couldn't remember if the LLW guy said May or June. Went to Tesco and TRU in Hayes, no sign yet. I might be swinging by LLW in the week, so if it is anywhere, that is where it (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

| | | | | (...) Well I phoned LEGO UK asking about the 1886 Starwars bucket and she had never heard of it and so only the 5 originals were available. Anyone else want to try? I think I'm going to write a letter instead. (25 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

| | | | | | (...) I asked in Hamleys yesterday (after they finally noticed me) and they said 'First week of June', which possibly means from about the 20th of May in Lego time.

| | | | | | Aha... one of the quite ones (where does everyone live? Paul) Agreement. Hamleys are very pricey... but they do have a huge range.

That's what I was referring to- I'm more into Lego than Star Wars, so I didn't get the names right. (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

| | | | | | | | According to Mark there are often people taking photos in Hamleys so take that as a nod of approval. He had previously told me about vaporators etc. but they've not made it into the display cabinet yet. (this is my way of saying that its not as (...) (25 years ago, 8-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
