|
| Keep checking your local Target's train stock. I helped liberate a couple of Kansas City area stores that had moved their trains to the magical 75% off mark this week. Unlike last year's consistent markdowns by region, it seems as if each store's (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jan-03, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.mo.kan)

If you look at the base, there could be one facing out to each side with a 1x2 tile on, then one at the front with a 1x4 tile (...)

Forgive me for saying so, but I was relieved to see that your decorative and highly innovative roof at least has an ugly underneath. (...)

Around 4 years back, I was just starting out with my own MOC's, and was inspired (probably even intimidated?) by all the (...)

| | | | | Wow!
|
| Wow! What an amazing model. At first I didn't believe my eyes when I opened the little thumbnail at brickshelf. I wish I had that many tiles. But the downpart is, that using this many tiles you don't see a lot of studs anymore, which should be (...)
