 | | LUGOLA March 24th meeting a HUGE success!
|
|
Hi, We had a huge meeting with 24 people in attendance (plus several neighbors that stopped by). It felt more like a mini LEGO convention rather than a little get-together! If you want to look at the raw pics, then they are here: (URL) here is a (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.people)

|
|
I did forget that there is a Shell station selling the "larger" Shell LEGO sets near our house. They have 1253, 1254, 1255, and 1256. These are relatively cheap, fairly good size town sets. I have several copies of each and consider them excellent (...) (24 years ago, 24-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

Hi guys, This is a detailed list of the parts I'm after in trade at the meeting. I have money or other parts to give in return. I'll repost what I've heard from others, but I haven't gotten all that much detail. If you want people to find parts, (...) (24 years ago, 24-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

ENOUGH, Brad was simply saying that if someone was willing to pay what he (and I as well) think the train model is worth than make him an offer. If you think that the $ he is asking is to much then don't worry about and buy it somewhere else, no (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

As another side comment, I'm personally very happy with the greater availability of parts, and the ease of connecting buyers and sellers. I VERY rarely sell things. I would say I'm a buyer 90% of the time, so I want the cheapest price possible. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)
