I sent an e-mail off to Doug a week ago-- Doug, I hope it's not too early to get in touch with you about the spring show. The Toronto LEGO group would love to attend your show. We'll be bringing a train layout much like the one at the last show. As (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) And those little suction cup/spring/plastic base thingies that when you press down and wait an indeterminate length of time then shout with glee when they pop up! Oh to be young again... Waittaminit... Dave K (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Spring tractor? Not sure what you mean. Would pull-back/wind-up toys be considered spring toys? And, I keep thinking about those dogs you can pull around with a Slinky for a body. I guess those are just Slinkys, also. Steve (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Like one of these: (URL) Would pull-back/wind-up toys be considered spring toys? Well, if they use a clock spring...like the one in the video, sure. Actually a lot of the "antique toys" at that show (and I mean Antique versus whatever people (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I love them. I don't know what it is, but they're great. I usually hate Canada too, except during the Olympics, when I'm in the States, or when I'm travelling abroad.

(...) Is this the quasi-substitute for The Hobby Show that we talked about back in November? i.e. are we planning a Hobby Show-like display, along with the train layout? AB (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
