Hi Zonker,
Oh NUTS! I was hoping to pick up a 1x3 blue inverted slope, and show all the
cool stuff we got in Europe. Not many sets but lots of docs, including a
1999 spiral bound LEGO calendar in Russian!
Anyone want to buy a Darth Vader Keychain from Windsor?
Can you post the photos?
I can bring some DUPLO to the next one for the kids..
How about Nov. 6 or 13th?
Mark
