There's a cool little news & gift store in Brighton which has a stash of old
LEGO sets -- some going back to 1987.


   Store:
      Brighton News & Gifts
      311 Harvard St.
      Brighton, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

   Directions:
      Um, look on map...it's too hard to describe.  Hint:  it's on the East
      side of the street, and it's on Harvard St. in Brighton, not Harvard Ave.
      in Allston.

   Hours:
      They're closed on Sundays, but I think they open at 7:30 a.m. every day
      on weekdays.  I forgot to check what time they closed...might be as early
      as 5 or 6 p.m.


Here's a list of everything they had out on the shelves when we went this
morning...  (There were also some things that we missed out on -- a Town/Space/
Forestmen value pack and some old M:Tron set.)

I didn't take notes on quantities because they said they have replacements in
the basement for things out on the shelves.  (So who knows how much they have.)
I know they had at least two Solar Snoopers left out on the shelves, and the
Imperial Guard ship in the front window, and I think I got the last Aerial
Intruder.  At least 30 old sets still out on the shelves when we left.

p.s.  This is an informative post only -- not an offer to purchase and ship.

Alright, who's the AZ resident who bought the Solar Snooper while I was trying to get through?? The store owner was friendly, and just a bit surprised about the interest these sets were getting. Apparently, he didn't realize LEGO sets go out of (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
