I suspect there a new catalog from LEGO within 3-4 months seeing that the Alpha Team sets are going to be released March 1 and the sets are not shown with set numbers in the current catalog. Jude (25 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

It's also interesting to note that it is only your speed(17,000mph) that you orbit the earth that makes you weightless, you see, you're constantly falling. You have to go far beyond Mars to feel truly weightless. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

I never thought it would end, but after 29 years of collecting Lego (100% Town complete; 80% Train complete), almost 1500 sets, close to 200,000 pieces, I need to seriously consider stopping to collect these absolutely horrible pieces of garbage (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
