I would have really liked to spend sometime in Miniland however, my time was limited and I didn't want to rush through it.

Did you leave me any? How much did you pay? I left five of them and I paid 16 pounds each. I left the five most beat up sets in the lot. I don't know if 16 pounds is a good deal or not but since they are virtually impossible to come by in the US I really didn't worry too much about the price. What did the starter set sell for when it was originally available? Mike - mike_walsh@mentorg.com http://members.tripod.com/mike_walsh
