(...) They are expanding, but the list I saw doesn't include Boston. I'd suggest a trip to The Construction Site in Waltham. It's pretty much the best Lego store I've ever seen. www.constructiontoys.com eric (25 years ago, 19-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I gotta second that advice. You need to make a stop. If LEGO were a religion, this store would be one of the "stations of the cross" as it were. (1) You usually pay full retail (although they DO have sales). But I have zero issue with that. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) In fact, I was in there on Friday and Crispin told me that the Gungan Sub and... oh, nuts, another SW set are both $10 off until the end of the month. eric (25 years ago, 19-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Hi Michael, There are two Outlet stores: one in Georgia and one in Potomac Hills, VA. Nona in MA (unfortunately for us) BUT, there's a great store in Boston, called The Construction Site (aka TCS). You can find a link to it from the (...) (25 years ago, 20-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Does the SI really have *that* much grey bricks? Is it worth those $30 even if I have close to no interest in the set? (Is it worth $20? :-) maybe I should plan another TCS visit... ;-) -Shiri (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Put Maul on eBay for a penny plus shipping, that should get you 2 bucks. that takes you to 28. Is Sith worth 28 for grey and dark grey plates bricks and click hinges? I think so, but you may not. Someone posted an inventory I think. I'll buy (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I jumped on a ton of those just before Hurricane Larry hit in Metro Detroit. It's well worth $15--IMHO, it's worth $20 if you don't have any yet.

(...) If it's not on sale at TCS, get it at K-Mart this week with another $30 set (if possible) or wait for another BOGO sale (they seem to happen pretty often...)
