Hiya Everyone,

    As everyone is posting their findings of the new 2000 Lego sets, I
figured I might as well for the Scranton, Pa area.  On Monday, the 20th.  I
went to the Local Toys 'R' Us in Dickson City to find the a good number of the
2000 Lego.  There was a good assortment from all themes: Star Wars, Artic,
Castle and Town.  Due to christmas spending I was only able to get the Flash
speeder and the small tracked vehicle from the Artic theme (I forget the
official name)  Last night, I had to run out so I figured that I would stop by
the the Local Walmart to see what they had.  Well, at one point they had the
new 2000 Lego, but upon my arrival I was greeted by the destruction of the Toy
area.  The entire area looked as if a giant stampede of Rhinos had come
through.  Toys were every where and in no recogniziable order.  I found a few
of the smaller Castle sets and one Flash speeder.  After leaving there, I
returned to TRU to see what had happened there.  TRU was in better shape the
Walmart.  Most of the Lego from the night before was gone however.  I was able
to find a buried B-wing behind some boxes of the Gungan sub.  So if you are
looking in the Scranton area, better wait until after the New Year!

Merry Christmas to all my fellow Lugnetters and have a Happy New Year!

Funny, I was just there for ten weeks working at Metlife in Clarks Summit. I
stayed at the Inn at Nichols Village (NICE!!!) I really liked that dickson
city area- I drove to TRU every night looking for the new sets, then found
them the weekend I got back home to Cinci! That Walmart is great too.

For non PA folks- they have a beer there - yeungling (yingling) that no one
calls by its name- they just say, give me a lager, and everyone knows they
mean yeungling.

(...) You mean there are other lagers? 8^P At many PA bars, you could just as readily ask for any beer that's not yellow and get Yeungling. Straubies are okay if your taste buds aren't working and your bladder is... Dave! (24 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi.swb)
