Hey guys and gals, I drove up to the Pinole TRU today hoping to snag an Imperial Shuttle and found that they still had received no new stock since Xmas except for the Technic Stormtrooper (ugh!). However, a battered and opened Millenium Falcon box (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

(...) A similar one, anyway: the new LOM value pack just arrived at Walmart here, and I found one on the shelf with a second copy of 7308, instead of the 7309. Too bad there's no cheap way to certify the shrinkwrap as original: I could probably get (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

This evening, I bought a set of 8008, the Technic Stormtrooper, from the TRU near Highway 84. When I opened the box, surprisingly I found a C-3P0 inside, with the instructions and stickers, not the Stormtrooper. Interestingly, there were only (...)

I'm thinking about tearing down there on MLK weekend, but only for one LONG day, since I've seen the park several times already. Would anyone want to go down on 1/13-15, and any preference on which day (I'd prefer 13 or 15, as my wife works those (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

The Big K on Fruitdale (near 280 and Meridian) is closing in a couple of weeks. The toy markdown is currently 50%. There wasn't a whole lot of Lego left, and I skimmed most of the good stuff (about half-a-dozen $10 SW sets, and a 4293 that (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf.sj)

Are there any Targets around that have lots of the K'Nex rollercoasters? Last year the Target by me had quite a few, and they got down to under $30, but I didn't have a use for them, so I didn't buy any. This year my cousin and I are planning to (...)

Well, thanks to a pre-Christmas Sale at Target, I picked up EACH of the UCS sets for $69.90! Apparently whoever was putting the stickers on them, put the much lower price for the Tie Interceptor on one of the X-Wings in the row. So, I lucked out and (...)
