Here's my 2¢... 1. I'd love to build something, but my LEGO is in piles... one unwashed, one clean, one partially sorted. That which isn't in piles is partially sorted into ziplocks and other containers. Either way, it's not "build-able" for me. The (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Hi, I have several comments to make at this point: I think that the question regarding how big the layout will be is VERY important. That dictates how much space needs to be "filled" and what we need to build. I'd love to help out in any way I can, (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Wow, what a busy week! Sorry I haven't jumped in on this thread. If there is enough interest (more than 3 or 4 people), I think it would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I can't make it to a prospective Saturday meeting to iron out some details. A (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Ever since I acquired every set in the Belville fairy tale Castle series, I have wanted to build one large Castle using all the pieces possible.
