Thanks are in order for Brad and Shelly Hamilton for hosting LUGOLA's largest meeting (convention?) ever. They where very brave and gracious hosts for letting a group of this size invade their home.

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!

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)

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)
