I worked so hard in the last months, I did not get any (...) (20 years ago, 30-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca, FTX)

(...) Hey Yanick! That's what I got! Two boxes of 3534! Not as great as those others that people in the States get, though. And by the way, how's your new house coming? And when will you re-open your Bricklink store? I like buying from you. ;) Keith (20 years ago, 30-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca, FTX)

(...) I agree with Rob. You’re either stacking blocks or you’re not. Pushing blocks is definitely lame. That said, it doesn’t really matter to me because at 8x8x8, I have no interest. (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
