Thanks. I originally bought 2 Slave 1's at full price and then purchased 7
more canopies from Brett Antaya at his "Pyrite's Plunder" BrickLink store.
Then, after the pricing blunder cut the price of this set in half at Target,
I picked up 3 more. Brett picked up some more as well and emailed me to see
if I wanted more canopies at a discounted price, which I greedily purchased.
I must say that Brett's pricing, quality, and service are all outstanding.
I have used him many times.
BTW, I must say that YOU were my influence in both architecture and theme.
Your classic "bubble" station is my all-time favorite MOC and got me turned
on to monorails, Paradisa, and "white" buildings in general. There is a
brickshelf link to it here, but the pictures are crappy
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4605). I know that you
have better pictures on your web site, but I don't know where the link is
currently located. It would be great if you could upload some of your
better pic's to Brickshelf for easier access.

Thanks - Again, I was heavily influenced by many of your sleek train and
monorail designs (some of which are here:

Your buildings maintain the theme very consistently througout the entire structure. (...) Cool. (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.trains)
