Duh! I forgot what I think is pretty big news. The Thomas rumours are true. He'll be along later this year. In Duplo, but still... hope LEGO didn't have to pay through the nose. And, I saw the long awaited LEGO StarWars game, it's now almost done (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.year.2005)

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Lego StarWars 2005 V.I.P. Gala event at the LEGO showroom at 25th and Broadway, in NYC, as part of this year's Toy Fair, so naturally I went... I uploaded a bunch of pics to BrickLink. They haven't been (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.year.2005, lugnet.lego) !!

I picked up each of the new 2005 small 'racers' sets at the MOA LIC on Saturday. They're cute sets, but my 8644 is pretty disappointing. When I push it across my desk here at work, two of the wheels don't even turn - they just slide. There is WAY to (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.year.2005)

None for me :-( but my son (age 8) received the 8781 Castle of Moricia from Santa. Pretty cool for an 8-year old, but WAY juniorized IMO.
