Hey John - that brings up an idea - perhaps we should meet at a mall with a store that actually has some decent LEGO stock so we could all check it out for some new-old-stock items like the road plates. Carousel only has Ames, and I don't consider (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ny.syr)
