Hey Larry,
nice post, I wish that the same would happen with the Town Theme...finding out
what kind of direction that Theme is headed in 2001/2002...
Isn't it great to have a nice big organization of AFOL's (in the train
clubs) to organize a big meeting with the guys from the Lego Group....
I hope they bring out some more kick-butt train sets....I have several that
I have bought this year via E-bay, and I am liking them more and more...
(user name MEDIB - Lar: used your service for one transaction!! -
and really loved your train page...)
that's it...just wanted to emphasize (as always) about the lack of sets
put out in the town theme this year (at the moment!!)
thanks, and keep posting Lar!!!
