Hi folks,
Just a quick report on current shopping finds.  Model Team 5533 for £14.99 at
my local woolies - wasn't there last time I looked and haven't seen it at any
other store.
You may be lucky, but it was probably an old box they found lying around.

I'll happily pass these on at cost to builders.  I may even part out some 8880
wheels if anyone wants them?

Also had two Chrome Knight sets - the dragon and cart ones.

Toy Stack in Kingston has also disappeared, now replaced by another teddy bear
shop.  Beatties is a dead loss for Lego too, nowadays.

My car is still off the road after SCLF - still waiting on the part :-(

Mark

(...) I gather you live in Kingston, right? You might want to look in Bentalls. Toy Stack is in the Bentall centre, just go to the back of the B. Centre, and go to the ground floor. There is an impressive selection of Lego there. While I'm on this (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
