(...) Local groups are tough in that respect... I only check my own loc group(s) once very few weeks... there's usually either a ton going on, or nothing at all. :-/ Depends on the season, I guess... -Shiri (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.hou)

The subject says it all. They had seven or eight last night (just be sure to leave me a couple - I haven't bought any yet ;^) For what its worth, I've found the Telephone Rd. K-Mart to be the best place in town for finding bargains. (I once got 2 (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.hou)

Yep, the Technic pickin's are definitely slim. In addition to eBay you might be able to find a few sets on Brickbay. <shameless plug> I'll have a few listed for sale in my own shop there soon, I hope. </shameless plug> Doug (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.hou)

I'm actually in Austin, but situation is the same. No real Technic sets anywhere (except for the Silver Champion at ToysRUs for full price). My best luck has been E-Bay. Just about any set you want is there. I'd suggest you watch awhile and look at (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.hou)

(...) My experience has been that K-Mart and KB-Toys are best for finding cheap and/or old Lego. Regarding, Technic, virtually the only sets that seem to be shelved these days are the Robo Riders, or, as you said, the perenially discounted Cyper (...)

Talkative bunch eh? Either of y'all know of any good deals on lego stuff in town? I started collecting legos this month and I'm sticking with technic ones. I have about 70 sets already.
