I know there was a thread a while back in which people listed parts they'd like to see made. I didn't have any luck with searching (is finding things on LUGNET hard for anyone else?), so I thought I'd start a new thread about it with a part I was (...)

I picked up a few of the 4562 200+200 bonus piece sets from Walgreens a couple of days ago. These bonus type sets are definately great fun and I hope LEGO do more of them.

I've been reading the buzz today about the new 4562 set. There's a Walgreen's here where I live (Lafayette, IN) and one on the next town over the river too. I went to the first one not having any idea how much the set would cost. I was pleasantly (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-04, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.parts, FTX)
