At BrickFest 2002, there was a deal where if you bought $50 of stuff at the Lego store at Potomac Mills or whatever it's called, you could get a sweatshirt for $3. (...)

Then again, my limited electronic knowhow factors in here. Dave K -who (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

As such, I should just be able to use that 9v adapter for my 1.5 and 2.0. (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
