comicblast Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'll just list a few, though the link Jeff provided is probably better.... TRU- Toys R US TLG = the Lego Group DS-Death Star MF-Monster Fighters or Millennium falcon B&M-Brick and Mortar store (actual building) LEGO Shop at Home - Shop at home.

LEGO Shop at Home, TLG and AFOL are really them only ones that caused me any confusion at the beginning. I had no idea what LEGO Shop at Home meant for like a month hahaha.

I had no idea what LEGO Shop at Home meant for like a month hahaha.Me too. Though for my first month, I didn't know there was such thing as a forum. Lol. Took a while for TLG. I was thinking it was a Lego set now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTX Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I hate to associate Toys' R' Us with the acronym "TRU" because their fake MSRP listings on Lego are anything but. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 8675309 = Jenny's Number (everyone sing it) I got her number! The one acronym that gets me still is: IMO = in my opinion. I keep thinking of one of those 'Emo' girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
