Calum and gang: Are you guys going to have something like you had last year at BF? I really enjoy the ingenuity in both the contests you guys come up with AND the entries from the people who compete in these contests! I'm hoping you guys can come up (...)

So, instead of building a mountain this weekend, I spent it working on my masters thesis/reading course. Let me delight you with some of my literature review. Calum PS-I did get all four XPods at the TRU sale (I thought they were buy one get one (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

G'Day Well, if you get a chance, and you have the room, I could use about $20 worth of tan 2x plates, (heavy on the 2x4) seems to be the most usefull for landscaping. Cheers Oliver "Derek Raycraft" <djr@rogers.com> wrote in message (...) (20 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So I'm at Zellers, grab 6 green bps, and proceed to the checkout counter. Now friends, let me tell you it's been a very long time since I purchased brand new green baseplates--teh last time I did there were 2 baseplates in a package (iirc) and the (...)

(...) Baring a complete change of selection, or not being able to make it back, this will be no prolem. The only frustrating thing is the lack of 1x1s in tan. They have lots of all the other lenghts. In 2 by it goes from by 2 to 6. Jeff and I have (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Why do you keep telling me to get a large cup full. I'm going to Legoland. It's sold by the pound. :-) I think it's highly unlikely the retail pick-a-bricks will have small parts like 1x1 on sale by volume. I will get you a reasonable amount. (...)

(...) Thanks for checking for us. Instead of green bricks, would you be able to find green plates (1x1 and 1x2)? I could use a large cup full of that and I think Jeremy would like it too for plate resolution terrain. Calum (20 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
