Ahoy! I noticed TRU Chatswood still had a few of these left at the pre-Christmas price of $A109, and after umming and ahhing for a while I decided to purchase one. I knew its reputation as the worst of the large ships, its dinky battle damage (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.reviews)

I purchased my first LEGO train last night, the Railway Express 4561. It was definitely an impulse purchase; the trains that I really want (and will get) are the ones in the 2001 catalog, but when I saw the set on the shelves at Toys R Us (Times (...)

Well technically it has something to do with soccer, but about 95% of the parts are great for spaceships. I scored one today at Target for $15 on clearance, and highly recommend it. Lots of blue and grey slopes, three of the old classic space (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.reviews)

(...) The 8466 suspension is still bouncy and pretty high riding over here. But mine's only been assembled for a week or two. The 8880 Supercar has exactly the opposite, it's my opinion the 8880 sits too high, and it has two shocks per wheel. Calum (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.reviews)
