| To all, I know all you Michigan residents are out there, there is a train show in Novi coming up. Does anyone want to display something? I might be able to, it depends on time, date, etc. Maybe we can have an unofficial group or something? Respond (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr, lugnet.loc.us.mi.fli)
| | | | | Re: Anyone in GRR find the new Large Star Wars
|
| I saw all 3 of these at the Toys R Us in NOVI( Not exactly SW, but close! ) about 2 weeks ago. They only had a few and their shelves weren't big enough to hold them so they were sitting on the floor. The X-Wing was $149.99, the other two were $99.99 (...)

|
| So, has anyone found any of the big new SW sets in Southwest Michigan? I found two of the 7191, UCS X-Wing Fighter at the Eastbrook TRU. One of the boxes was pretty beat up -- it looked like someone really wanted a peek inside. I haven't seen 7181, (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr)
