Don't remember the name of the store but it is the biggest toy store in the world. 5 or 6 stories. The name that hits in my head is Harolds. It is in London, just ask for the big toy store and any one would be able to help you. This store was great, (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi All, Well the Britdog is back in England for a while and this weekend was my first visit to a UK toyshop since getting interested in LEGO again.

Went in to WalMart to get a few cans of soup and a block of cheese. I ended up spending a little north of $800 on clearance Lego. It all started when I turned the corner and watched the guy halve the aero tube hanger's clearance price. From there it (...) (23 years ago, 2-Feb-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
