    Mc Donald's Lego —Pamela Fryer
   If McDonald's have a Lego promotion, after Halloween, I may well be out of the country at that time (from Nov. 1 to Nov. 10). I was hoping to get two sets of each for my lad's Christmas stockings - if they aren't too lame. Any chance someone is (...)

        Re: Mc Donald's Lego —Pamela Fryer
   I received the S@H catalog yesterday, which shows the sets offered at McD's.

In actual point of fact, a hamburger happy meal probably has a more appropriate level of calories for a single diner than a Big Mac combo does... that's (...)

        Re: Mc Donald's Lego —Tim Coats
     (...) I am not interested in the sets, but some of the pieces will be interesting to quite a few people. Notice that at least one of the sets has pink plates.
