| | LEGO Factory in CA?
|
|
Hi, Someone at my office just told me he saw on the Local News (KRON-channel 4) last nite that TLG is planning to build a FACTORY in Marin County CA. He said it is not a distribution center, but a real factory. Anybody else heard this? Mark (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.general)

I think the url should stay intact. But this is free exposure, and possibly makes KTVU aware of us. It also might put us on a list for possible exposure for free public service air time. I guess what I'd like to know is what we'd put on that Bay (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

(...) There weren't any at Carlsbad, however, I remember Huw Millington posted that he saw them in stores in England. You may want to try e-mailing a European citizen like Huw, Carbon 60, or Jon D.

Hi All, Has anyone else built a "real" pod racer where you eliminate the tan 2x plates, bricks, etc. and use black 12 gage solid copper wire to support the control "cabin"? (you also need additional clamps in front) Mark (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.starwars)
