(...) My expenses were: $140 or so, rental of an Isuzu Trooper for 3 days (it's amazing how much you can pack into a trooper, only a few of the locals brought the same order of magnitude of volume of stuff as I brought) $75 or so for gas (travelling (...)

(...) A K-8 is the box TLC uses to supply LEGO parts to the play tables and for events. It's about 18" x 30" x 15" or something like that, filled with bricks.

Very cool, I didn't know they had particular box for stocking the play tables. That would be a cool thing for LEGO Direct to sell, you'd never really know what you're going to get. That would kind of add to the excitement, then you could trade off (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
