|
|
I just got a note from someone who remembered the comparision I did on RTL between the three airports, and I decided to repost it here in .reviews where it might be easier to find. Here's a Dejanews reference if you want to see the thread in (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

That link seems to be wrong. It seems that pasting in DejaNews URLs doesn't work any more?? Anyway, you can find it yourself by doing a dejanews powersearch on group rec.toys.lego with keywords century skyway and author Larry Pieniazek.. Maybe this (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

You forget that CS has a second chopper. It's of the boring, ho-hum, clone of a 1000 other TLG copters variety, so I'm not sure if it's an asset to CS, or a detriment. ;) Also, (just looking at the browser pictures--I don't have any of these sets) (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)
