Hi all,
I actually live in Monaco, south of France and I'm about to place an order
to Lego France for some spare parts. I can post orders quite easily and
send to US using UPS or DHL as some of my company offices are in SF,
California. if anybody is interested, please apply quickly as I *urgently*
need the small cylinders and pumps...
Cheers,
Emanuele Cipolloni
