Hi Mario Ferrari,
Why isnt NL on your list with an afaik enthousiatic community of LEGO collectors
and addicted people. And Holland even is part of Europe you know.
De Bouwsteen is even an international club since we have members (about 200) from
all over the world from Asia to Europe too, Im not kidding.
