(...) Huh.. well I guess I lucked into it then. We don't get the paper, so I was not aware of the sale. My wife wanted to stop there to look at something else that she was told was on sale.

About six months or so ago, they stopped keeping the Lego on "permanent" discount and switched to a rotating sale (i.e., every few weeks, they'll put them on unadvertised discount for a week).

Found my first Alpha Team set today (in Columbus, OH, at the W. Broad St. TRU). 6773 Alpha Team Helicopter. They had about ten of them on the shelf. It was the only Alpha Team set they had out. Of course I bought one :-) . No real review, but a few (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.oh.col)

Hi, Well, with Joel not attending, things are getting a bit slim. Steve Piehler said he might be able to make it. Jorge, you were going to have to take off from work to come, so if you decide not to come, I'd understand. If you do want to come, let (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.us.oh.col)
