Sorry for not following up more quickly-- I haven't gotten a chance to check
out Franca's meeting room as I was busy Thursday night and was out all
weekend on a camping trip. Although now that I think of it, Franca's is
closed tonight, isn't it? Dang. Maybe I'll drop by there tomorrow...
I don't have any real plans for this week though, so any time we want to
meet and/or take down the Mosaic should be ok with me.
Oh, and on a side note, while coming home from camping this weekend, I was
introduced to a rather cool toy store in Maine. They've got some old stuff
that you can't necessarily find anymore (1996+), although it's all at full
price (or nearly-- IIRC they had a bunch of 5988 Pharoah's Forbidden Ruins
for $76 and I think they were originally $80). We're likely going to be
visiting again, so if anyone wants anything, lemme know. Some of the scarse
stuff I can remember they had:
- 5976 River Expedition (Jungle Adventurers w/ boat)
- 5986 Amazon Ancient Ruins (Jungle Adventurers big set)
- 5988 Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins (Huge Egypt Adventurers set)
- 6493 Flying Time Vessel (Time Cruisers flying boat)
- 6975 Alien Avenger (UFO big round ship)
- 6979 Interstellar Starfighter (UFO ship w/ fiber optic, black 1x4 lights!)
- 6999 Cyber Saucer (UFO ship, the one with the mask)
- 7140 X-wing Fighter (not the UCS one)
They also had some of the older Basic sets that have become somewhat scant
in recent years as Creator and Jack Stone have invaded, though I don't
recall which ones they had.
Interestingly enough, they also have some other old stuff too. They piqued
my curiosity with what must be an OLD model kit of the "Attack on Hoth",
along with other old models of things like a light-up Star Destroyer, and
other oddities. And for anyone who likes Playmobil, I don't think I've ever
seen such a wide variety, the exception *maybe* being FAO Schwartz, though I
think they had even more at this place.
Anyway, very cool little toy store. Called "Toyland", IIRC, though I forget
the town it was in. I'll have to ask my friends who were taking me there...

| (...) It might be an old copy, but that model was recently re-released with the original packaging, so it might not be. It's not the best kit in the world, either. But it is (as far as I know) the only place you can get a Rebel Transport model (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
