Nice find Hendo...brings out the treasure hunter in all of us. JFK..one of the best places I've found have been toystores that do Lego displays.

Hey all, I got this idea a few weeks ago and wanted to sound it out here. Since the license for Star Wars will most likely end after the release of Episode III, I got to thinking/hoping/fantasizing about TLG returning to producing it's own original (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
