Keep them blackouts rolling! Well, well, well. I work with a stockbroker here in Santa Rosa, CA, and consequently when the market closes in New York, it is 1:00 in the afternoon for us. Our busiest time of day. (Also means I'm off work by 2:30/3:00 (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.people, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hey Everyone, I went to Target (Greatland) in Thousand Oaks, CA (Newbury Park?) today and picked up three 8735 Technic Motor Kit (with gear-reduction motor) for US$18.75 each (normally US$39.95) on their toy clearance aisle.

Check that - NORTH of LAX, not south. You may want to look at some of the shells by legoland - just grab the white pages and use the phone, not the gas to look. If you have access to a computer use mapquest.com for the directions. And they say you (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.legoland)

Ya, they are still on sale - they are starting to be hard to find. There are still tons of the small $1.60 sets, and I still see the big sets around.

Just to remind you - I am not sure if you can get the shell lego sets up there - but if not there are lots of shells from Los Angeles to San diego. Here is a driving hint for you - take the 405 and not the 5 - the 5 is a mess all the way from LA to (...)
