| (...) In Australia 1278 and 1280 are available off the store shelf (sans candy).

It's worked for fast food retaurants/breakfast cereal (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Well - I didn't like them *that* much more... but at least they were still *lego*... (...) It's so much fun, isn't it? ;-) I do it (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

|
| I just got my Nov.-Dec. Mania magazine in the mail yesterday, and inside was an ad for the new Lego Racers. Y'know, those ugly little critters we saw artist's conceptions of (in the 2001 catalog, I believe). Well, they have the actual sets in there, (...)
