(...) I got a good chuckle out of Xango, the "T-Wrecks"! Not only an amusing creation but a very inclusive work, making good use of lettering and mosaics. Very nice! -Jordan (17 years ago, 16-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug, FTX)

(...) Jeffrey, I enjoyed the perspective of the show from a mini-fig level. You have some great shots. Thanks for sharing. Brian P.s. I didn't think anyone noticed the "bunny sniper" but obviously you did. (17 years ago, 15-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug, FTX)

Once Again I am the slow guy. Just kidding. Oh and our apologies about not posting an announcement for the show before it happened. I almost did once, but got busy doing other things. We will fix that for the next show. Just as Brian said it was a (...) (17 years ago, 15-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug, FTX)

Mike & All, (...) Indeed.
