| | | | | GR Teacher's Store
|
| Hi All, I was driving down 28th the other day when I saw a place called The Teacher's Store on one of the side streets. I suddenly remembered going there with my grandmother (a retired teacher) and ogling all the Dacta boxes as a child. I was just (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr)

|
| To All, I did receive an e-mail from the company, and they said the NOVI one was a mistake. However, I think it would be neat if us Michigananders can start one ourselves!

| 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)

| (...) I was staggered at the notion that it is a perfect 42 _floor_ cube. Let's see, that's 176,400 square feet per floor, times 42 floors, equals almost 7,500,000 square feet of living space. Not bad for $800K. -Adam 8^D (26 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
