David,
Thanks for the info!! I'm mostly looking for Technics type stuff - its a bummer
that supplement sets arent available anymore.
What's Lego Direct? Is that just a US thing? Is it likely to come to Oz anytime
soon? Now that I've re-found all my old Lego, I cant wait to get back into
building stuff!!
And are there any user-groups in the Melbourne area? I saw some messages about
LegOz (in Craigieburn I think?) but unfortunately I dont have a car, and I'm on
the other side of town (Chadstone).
Thanks again!
ROSCO
