Great to hear you had snow in your area; I wish it snowed here. This
Christmas, I just asked for a few Lego sets, The Metroliner and Club Car,
and a box of straight tracks. My parents were kind of skeptical on getting
me the Metroliner, but I talked them into it. Since my parents gave me the
train last night, I was up until 3:00AM putting it together. Its a great
set, the only problem is the blue small windows, but I'm going to call
tomorrow for the fix-pack. This Christmas came by so fast, too bad its over.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
