You can see them at: (URL) if you prefer Brickshelf: (URL) review the captions on my page and let me know if you know of any errors. I didn't know who made several of the models so I was unable to give proper credit... --Bill. (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

(...) Oops... yes, San Ramon had some Blaster (in box) RorboRiders and Mosasaurusesessesses's ;-) Did I mention that jack Stone was 50% off? (...) Yes, I wish I wish I wish I wish Larry had told me about the 3313 deal he arrangaed for last year. I (...)

(...) That's pretty much the picture at the Targets I've visited in Redwood City and San Mateo. San Mateo had some RoboRiders, which I thought had been gone for a long time. Also I've seen some of the Dinosaurs for 50% off. The soccer sets (not the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

A survey of the new catalog shows the clear winner in the parts-per-dollar metric: #7119 Twin-Pod Cloud Car, 117 pieces for $9.99. Then again, with all the die-hard train fans, maybe I should enter something based on #4519! :) (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

We only have a few weeks to work on our entries for this month's BayLUG contest. For those of you who missed it, the theme is "best alternate model of a LEGO set priced under $10".

(...) You're in the Peninsula edition. I bought mine in Mountain View, and it appears to be identical to the web version (plus the B/W photos). Strange that they have so many variations in different regions... --Bill. (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

My kids and I are mentioned in the on-line edition, but not in the edition we get in Sunnyvale. :( But it was really cool to see the group hit the big-time press!
