Except for the occasional necessity to finish a project NOW NOW NOW, I haven't bought full-price lego in years. I take advantage of all the BOGO 50% sales, as well as hit the after christmas sales with a vigor as well. It shouldn't be too much of a (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Hey Guys, I have a challenge for you for 2001. Do not pay retail for any sets in 2001. This of course does not apply to promo, HTO, or S@H exclusives (you are lucky to get a deal on these items) But what I am aiming for is a year that I do not walk (...)

I was in the TRU at Superstition Springs and they had a bunch of the new Studios sets (1351, 1257 & others I can't remember) and more importantly 2 of the new Life on Mars sets (7311 & 7312). I picked up the 7312. I also was in the neighborhood of (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.az, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

I'm having a good, long look at these creatures. Here are some things i'm noticing. <set:8531 Pohatu> Pohatu has brown Throwbot parts, as well as tan. The main function of this set is almost certainly a gear-controlled kicking motion. Look at the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

Well, I just plugged my new Life on Mars sets into the LUGNET DB, and noticed there weren't many that were filled in for title and piece count. Also, on the back of 7316's instruction booklet, all the boxes for the LOM sets are shown, so I figured (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.admin.database)
