(...) This is the first sighting I recall of the new Ogel base, but a few sightings have been posted in lugnet.year.2002, and to a lesser extent the SW and Potter groups. I've seen most of the other Jan. sets at Target and TRU here in the SF Bay (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Ahhh, the old 8-and-Van-Dyke shopping center. Lots of great Lego finds there. The TRU has always had that "time warp" quality about it. When I came out of my dark ages in '97, they still had sets there from '94. I got my Star Hawk II at that (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi folks, It looks like it's cleaning day at some of the TRUs; I found something very, very weird at 7 mile and Middlebelt (Livonia): a pail full of polybag set 3744, the My Own Train Green Kit. No documentation, no instructions, no context (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I haven't seen too much mentioned about some of the newer sets being seen.
