|
| I just saw Spark and Blaster for the first time today at Toys R Us. However, I still have yet to see Flare. Of course, I saw Millenia, the Slammers, and Star Wars Technic's, also, but they have been in abundance for some time now... Tx, +Z+ (26 years ago, 20-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.fl.tam)

| If you go to Epcot Center, see the gift shop in Norway. They have some Lego sculptures inside. They also sell (cough cough, Mouse markup) some promo sets (think ninja minifigs.) Hvor mye koster det? (26 years ago, 18-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl, lugnet.market.shopping)

| | |  | | Any good stores in Orlando?
|
| Hi, I'm gonna be in Orlando, FL next week and was wondering, are there any good stores in the area? Also, are sales taxes higher than, say, Boston? TIA, -Shiri "so psyched to get there" Dori (26 years ago, 18-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl, lugnet.market.shopping)

| Hey, well at least there's a few people close by, or by now and then. If I find something interesting, I'll post it here. And, if others could do the same, that would be great.

|
| Any chance that there is another Lego-maniac here is Tampa, FL, USA? It's rather interesting how often some of the older sets suddenly show up in the local Toys R Us or KB Toys, and it would be nice to have someone else to converse with that is as (...)
