Subject says it all. I'm willing to offer my apartment in Cary for a get together this weekend for a get together (though if someone with a bigger place wanted to offer that would be great also). Any day would be good for me. (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc.dur, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Greetings! Star Wars has just (finally) pulled me out of my dark ages! What I want (need) to know is... Are there any other LEGO fans online in the Wilson area? Thanks, Will (25 years ago, 20-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

I stopped by the Raleigh Toys'R'Us on 70 (Glenwood). I'm guessing they got the shipment of Tie/Y's, infiltrators and Anakin's Pod racers that they were supposed to get for May 3.
