  Shell Promo sets?
 
Does anyone know if the Shell promo sets are available at any of the Shell stations in the Quad cities area? Or at the Galesburg, IL station that shell.com lists? I'd rather not make a wasted trip if I don't have to. :-) Thanks! Brian (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ia, lugnet.loc.us.il, lugnet.loc.us.il.rmd)

Did you hit the one in Brookfield?? just wonder if I should head that way or not... I'd really like to get some of the new Star Wars sets if possible.

  doh! 2001 retail in stores
 
While on a trip to the TRU by my house I found two of the Mars sets. Getting all excited I drove to 4 of the TRU stores in Milwaukee, the Racine one, 3 in Northern Illinois, and 1 Meijer's stores in IL and 2 in Indiana. This is what I got in return. (...)

Hi all, I will be in Chicago on business/pleasure from Nov 24 thru Nov 28 and staying in the downtown area on Adams. So the big question is ... Where are good places/stores to get Lego downtown?

  Re: Anyone out there?

  Re: Anyone out there?
 
(...) I used to go to school down here (got my undergrad and grad degrees at U of I), but now I work for the University (specifically at NCSA). That makes me an old fogy. It's funny -- the students are getting younger and younger each year. :) Chris (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.il.cha)
 
  Re: Anyone out there?
 
(...) I think if there are any they are choosing to lurk. Are you going to school at UofI? I was down there last weekend with some friends. We went to Joe's (I think thats what it called). Too crowded and watered down drinks. Oh well. (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.il.cha)

  Chicago LIC Grand Opening?
 
Can anyone tell me exactly when the Grand Opening of the Chicago LIC is? I really want to go, but I'd rather not plan my trip on rumors. Does anyone have the stated date from a newspaper or something? (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.events, lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland, lugnet.loc.us.il.chi)
