  Construction Site and Space Shuttles in MA
 
Just returned from a weekend trip home to MA. Made the trek up to the Construction Site in Waltham. This place has the best selection of Lego of any retailer (on-line or otherwise) that I've seen. They've got lots of Dacta sets available which I (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.loc.us.md.bal, lugnet.market.shopping)

You must have gotten the same employee I got. He couldn't have looked too hard. I, too, called in advance, although I knew I was going to go to the store anyway. The employee looked, and said he had 2 or 3 sets. I had him hold one for me. Then I got (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
