|
| Hi! I'll be up in Raleigh this weekend, attending a convention at the Embassy Suites (the phone number for the hotel is 919-881-0000, if the con's web page is accurate). I'll be coming up there Thursday afternoon (22 June), and although the con (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

| (...) Yea, found them, went out last evening and scarfed one up. I could have sworn I looked there Friday, so either I didn't look close enough, or they really did put them out after I left (which seems unlikely, from what I have seen, they do (...)

I had stopped by on Wednesday and they had one of each X-Wing and Tie-Fighter, but the X-Wing box (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc, lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)
| | | | | UCS X-Wing at Cary TRU
|
| The Cary TRU has three (as of 9:15 PM tonight) copies of the UCS X-Wing set. I did not buy one and now that I think about, nor did I check the price. They also have the Millenium Falcon for $100. Didn't buy that either although I suspect I will end (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc, lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

| (...) You got it! I believe the purpose of bulk ordering is to make it less expensive to obtain a specific element. That it does in every case. gray 2x4 bricks and black 2x4 medium slope bricks cost 34 cents each in service packs, 14 cents each vi (...)

| I expect to pay LD a premium to buy just the parts I want and I don't really have a problem with it (although I thought the red 1x4x6 doors were a bit much at $2.00 a pop). I didn't order any basic bricks. About the only color basic bricks I can see (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

| I did the same sort of cost-analysis and only bought things that I can't get any other way. With discount and shipping, the black windows are .84 a pop, the blue thinwalls, 2x2 whites windows and trees are .30, and the tiles are .07. I decided not (...)

| I visited the new bulk ordering section for Lego Shop at Home. What i don't get is their pricing -- it's all screwed up, not a good deal at all: For example, lets buy 1 of each, A. B. C. D. E. & F. of the standard bricks they are offering -- all the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)
