Hi all, .... the Party Packagers store at Orfus Rd & Caledonia in North York has a couple of the large 3571 ZNAP sets with motors for $10. Boxes are a little opened/damaged, so make sure you check the contents for those incredibly useful and (...) (22 years ago, 18-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Just found 4105 for $14.99 at Walmart today. This is the 500 piece Creator bucket. A little expensive, but a nice assortment. They also have the green and orange Duplo buckets in too. Also found a number of clocks for $29.99 there too-there's a (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) hehe, what could you be referring too? :-) Actually the point has become moot. As it turns out the interference of other parts has made it unnessisary to cut flex tubing after all. The pneumatic T-connector will do just fine. Its nice to know (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The ultra-purists in NELUG seem comfortable with it, but it's nice to know that others (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
