(...) That's pretty much the picture at the Targets I've visited in Redwood City and San Mateo. San Mateo had some RoboRiders, which I thought had been gone for a long time. Also I've seen some of the Dinosaurs for 50% off. The soccer sets (not the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

A survey of the new catalog shows the clear winner in the parts-per-dollar metric: #7119 Twin-Pod Cloud Car, 117 pieces for $9.99. Then again, with all the die-hard train fans, maybe I should enter something based on #4519! :) (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

We only have a few weeks to work on our entries for this month's BayLUG contest. For those of you who missed it, the theme is "best alternate model of a LEGO set priced under $10". And no, you can't use a Podracer bucket just because you bought it (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

My kids and I are mentioned in the on-line edition, but not in the edition we get in Sunnyvale. :( But it was really cool to see the group hit the big-time press! Does the east bay or Peninsula editions have "Gyugyi" mentioned in the last paragraph? (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
