If you are looking for Star Wars Legos, go to the Pineville suburb of Charlotte, NC and the Toys R Us there. They have EVERY set and plenty of them. They had ten Tie Fighter & Y-Wing sets and more in the back. If you need help getting there, take (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

I did, check the SW newsgroup for my report in Raleigh. Called "12:01a TRU" I knew the Cary one was going to be open, but I didn't want to brave the journey. So I just bet on the one in Raleigh bein open. Good thing too. Frank Filz wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

(...) If I was to buy just a single train, I'd think about the the S@H 3225 (using their "train set" deal). The 4565 is also a good choice, but you have to add a power pack which adds about another $45. If you think you want to dive into trains in a (...)

I would really like to finish off half of my attic to be "my room" per se. A place where I could set up a nice town layout (4'x6' maybe) and display some of the other models that I have built. This ideal room would also be my home office where I (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)
