I would love to find some trains on sale/clearance, but they aren't very common anymore. The only train I have seen recently is 4561. Generally, I keep my eyes open for any LEGO sets with useful pieces. I'm not focused on any one theme. Where is (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)

(...) Not sure about now, but earlier this year, Tuesday Morning had some lego on sale. Every once and a while, both K-Mart and Target have 10%-20% sales, you just have to watch the Sunday ads. What type of sets are you looking for? Technic, (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)

Does anyone know of any stores in or near Austin that ever have particularly good prices on LEGO? In the past, I occasionally found some nice LEGO sets on clearance at Wal-mart. It seems that I haven't seen any major LEGO discounts over the past (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)

I have never personally attended such an event, but my understanding is that time is usually the limiting factor. In most cases, the participants run out of time very quickly. As the old saying goes - "Time flies when you are having fun." I agree (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)

I asked around here at National Instruments about using one of our meeting rooms on the weekend, and they said that I would have to be able to link it back to the company to make it work.

Also, security will be an issue as we will probably leave our (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)

Right now, I am planning to do the columns with 2x2 rounds, just for color consistency. They did paint their columns and their wood ceilings, but this is actually half the size of a cathedral in a richer area, so I am assuming that they would not (...)

Thanks, Alan. Actually, what got me hooked was reading "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. It's set in 12th century England, and is a must for any Castle-head who wants to be accurate. Unbelievable. The basis of the book is a group of people who (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)
