 | | Where are all the Lego?
|
| I just went to TRU near Alewife on Wednesday and was dismayed at what I saw. 1.) First of all it looks like they've scaled back the Lego section by about 20%. 2.) The Life on Mars sets are all gone and have been replaced by the Moviemaker sets. I'm (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ma)
