I feel bad even putting (dumping) that part into my daughter's bins... But then again, she might find some use for it that adults could never imagine. That is what Lego is all about. Perhaps BrickFest should have a contest - Given a pile of not so (...) (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Oh ya, been there, done that. :-) What's always good is the notes you get from befuddled sellers, wondering what you are up to and some hoping to dump other dross on you. I'm wondering when it's going to happen to me for THIS part: (URL) part (...) (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
