(...) I bought 7314 which is Recon Mech RP in Atlanta tonight. My initial thoughts are: 1. From looking at all the boxes on display (The only one they didn't have at TRU was the big base thing) this is the best thing that's come along for space in (...)

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 (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) I think I too agree that this is the same baseplate (new color) that graced the recent Avdenturers "Egypt" theme, a "classic" $29.99 set whose name escapes me (saw them at KMart before the August clearances hit) that had a kind of overgrown (...)

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, (...)
