Indiana Jones LEGO sets are starting to pop-up around the country at Toys ‘R Us. Locally, the south Lindbergh location had all four sets, in limited quantities as of yesterday, with the smaller sets being a dollar more than MSRP. These sets aren’t even available on Shop @ Home yet.

[EDIT] Indiana Jones sets have also been spotted at the Fenton Toys ‘R Us, as well as some of the latest Star Wars sets.

GtwLUG is filling one of the display cases at the Tesson Ferry Public Library with a history of trains. Stop by and see old and new LEGO trains sets and train-related MOCs. The display will be up for the entire month of December.

Don’t forget to stop by for our monthly meeting on Saturday, December  8th from 1-4pm.

Looks like things aren’t going well for the proposed Legoland in Lee’s Summit, Missouri - just this side of the Kansas border. Recent talks with the Columbia, Illinois government rejected the proposal to develop the farm land east of the JB Bridge already slated for the Columbia Crossing.

Screamscape has a nice history of the recent development attempts (minus the recent Columbia vote) to get a Legoland in the midwest.

Our host encountered some problems last month, leaving us without a web-site. We’re slowly rebuilding and redesigning as we go along, so bear with us.
