Hey, that sounds really neat! Our own, temporary, Lego command center!
Well, gosh-darn-it, I'm sure as shootin' gonna try to make this meeting!
(Sorry, been watching too much "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot" <Grin>)
I was looking for a fellow LUGnut to carpool with for this meeting (I'm
a little transportation-challenged right now), and LUGOLA member Jimmy
offered to take me there. Thanks Jimmy! I'm very appreciative!
So I look forward to meeting everyone for the first time, especially
Bryce (and his monster mechs) and Brian (I've seen your awesome Star
Wars stuff on the Web).
In other news, I was recently at Downtown Disney and visited the Lego Store
there. My goodness, I've never seen so many Lego knick-knacks in one place!!
I wanted to get some Lego SW figures, but naturally, they were out of the
Darth Vader/Emperor/Darth Maul 3-pack. Harrumph...
I was at E3 (the big videogame trade show) last weekend, and made sure to
check out the Lego booth. They had Bionicles, Mindstorm, and Studio sets on
display. I also noticed some new dinosaur figures. While I was playing with
them, another trade show attendee commented that these Lego dinos were part
of a new line being released in Japan this year. He then pulled out a
Japanese Lego catalog and let me see them for myself. I think there were
7 Lego dinosaurs, ranging from mostly blocks with a special head and tail
(Ankylosaurus) to mostly special-made parts (Allosaurus or T-Rex).
Hopefully, we'll see those here in 2002.
Among the Lego games was one based on Harry Potter. I'm not kidding!
I think Lego might be going a little too license-crazy...
That's the news, have a pleasant tomorrow.

| LEGO on sale at "Til Tuesday" stores. They have a meager assortment of Lego System sets and several Throwbots marked down about 50% from retail. The largest set they had was Insectoid Base which selling for $50.00. They also had the Droid Developer (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)
