I picked up 36, I'm going to stop there - even compacting them into minimum tubs, I don't know if I can fit that many in my car to bring them to the 3/12 meeting. I'll need paid back on these asap, they went on plastic. All I ask for compensation is (...) (25 years ago, 20-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Hello fellow LA area LEGO fans I'd like to propose the formation of LUGOLA (LEGO User Group of LA). It'd be a chance to meet local freaks and share creations, cause let me tell ya, seeing LEGO in real life is better than looking at photographs. And (...)

They can't get any more and I was going to otherwise have to pay more than the sale price. Since these modules take 50 tubs each, 6 baseplates, track and structures, plus $35 to make a table for them, the cost for my layout it quite astronomical, so (...)

Mike, have you contacted the person who took the order and asked for assistance? Or is your original order price higher than the $14.99 sale price? In that case you are better off going with the sale price and forgetting the original order. I'll get (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

12V track is exactly the same as 4.5V track, except that they have a conductor rail (2 studs wide, removable) that sits between the rails.
