Newport News TRU has a bunch of Advent Calendars. They are not on the regular LEGO shelf, they are on the facing shelf closer to the front of the store, near the stuffed animals. They also had 8448 Super Street Sensation for $129. SteveC Perilous (...) (27 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.us.va.new)

Heya one and all... Newport News resident and first time poster here. A couple of weeks ago, Frank Filz mentioned something about a set and said it "makes the 10 cents a piece". What does that mean? What is considered a good price for a set? Based (...) (27 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.loc.us.va.new)

Big K at Warwick and Oriana (or Old Oriana, can't remember which.) Just left there (1pm 4/29) and there were probably 20 boxes of Speeder Bikes. But here's the catch, they weren't in the LEGO aisle. They were two aisles over (one aisle off the wall) (...) (27 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.va.new)
