Jonathan Lopes & I checked out my favorite out-of-the-way Lego shopping hole. It is a great time capsule, a veritable Slow Glass of Lego, albeit picked over. They still have Exploriens Starships. Many Star Wars sets but no X-Wing or Snowspeeder. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jun-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Will someone please explain why people like the poster tell us of our Lego dreams come true, but withhold the info. Either tell us where to go or don't screw with our minds. If I said I knew where to get USC X-Wings at 18.40 a pieces and there were (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jun-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Oops... So you found it at THAT Target. All I got was a red sticker just now. Last Saturday that spot was empty and labeled $99, now it's Mindstorms $49 and empty except for 4561. Jonathan reports no goodies at the other Target aside from $9 6775s, (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
