Can you imagine if this company made better sets than TLG? If TLG keeps going the way they do, I might have to switch. From what I have seen, it looks a lot better than Town Junior does. I like the military sets as well. Any chance of seeing these (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

The military sets are available in some Target stores in the U.S. see news://lugnet.com/F9...lugnet.com or if that link doesn't work, it's 4/10/99 Best-lock post by Ben Vaughan in the off-topic clones newsgroup I got an e-mail in January from their (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Oh, I agree Chris. I would have said the same thing five years ago. I have been with Lego sets for 20 years now, and I have a hard time with saying it. But times have changed. I will say the SW sets are wonderful, I have many now. But overall, look (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
