Well, I've finally worked out how to use the counter my ISP provides, and sorted out a reasonable format, so I suppose I'd better invite you guys to have a look at my Great Brickain pages. Have a go at: (URL) LMKWYT. Now I need to spend less time on (...) (25 years ago, 13-Feb-00, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) The worst part about these, as with the IG/SW backpacks, is that they don't work with the Adventurers pith helmets! Argh! (However, the "opening" backpack does.) best Lindsay (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) This has been dealt with rather comprehensively now, but on another tack, have you considered the new Arctic backpacks? They would seem pretty good, particularly for some French Foreign Legion types. Obviously we could use some new headwear, (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.pirates)

I'm wondering if anyone might happen to have the GM charts for Steve Jackson's Pirate Game. I asked Steve several months ago when they might show up on the web site, and he said they would be going up as soon as he could get some help with them, at (...)

(...) Unfortuanately dark grey backpacks are getting pricy on eBay (a lot just closed last night at $1.50 each). I've done a trade for some (and am buying speeder bike sets to boot). As Lance said, a white pack comes in the Snow Speeder set. (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.pirates)

Since people have been bidding more for brown backpacks than I pay for the entire soldier figure, I have been getting the gray backpacks that appear in the Star Wars speeder bike sets. The question I have, though, is where do the white backpacks (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.pirates)
