 | | 1298 Advent Set Available @ Cary Target
|
|
Tuesday night I was in the Cary Target close to closing time and there was a palette of new LEGO boxes in one of the aisles. I noticed that one of them was labeled 1298 so I got a woman to open it for me. I went ahead and got it, it is a nice set. I (...)

I am leaving for Sweden on 8/21 so that weekend is out for me. Not sure what the next weekend looks like yet. I know I will be away for the one after that (9/3-9/6). Mike - mike_walsh@mindspring.com Frank Filz wrote in message (...) (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

I'd like to have another get together in the Triangle. I can host again, or we can go someplace new. The weekends of August 20-22 or August 27-29 would be ideal, but many week nights would work also. (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc.dur, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

(...) Let's give it another day or two, and then decide. If there is no current opposition from people in Charlotte, I'm reasonably game for NCLTC, otherwise I agree, RDULTC works.

(...) I like NCLTC in case our friends in Charlotte (or wherever else) decide to join us. But if not, then I vote for RDULTC since that's the name of the airport. We should decide soon so we can put in our application for the train show.

You have to get on ZB's mailing list. They send out coupons periodically. Last weekend that same set was an additional 25% with the ZB coupon for 25% any clearance item.

I did not see the 4560 set in Sweden, only 4561. I'm not sure luggging a train set back would be very easy either! Those boxes are pretty large. I will take a look while I am there and let you know.
