She should have been at LegoWorld: entire families diggin' those boxes as
well as crawling the floor (there was about half a box worth spread on the
floor) for pieces, kids telling their parents what to get, grandparents
holding the bags....

Ah, sounds chaotic enough :)

The only thing we did was support the box a little on the side with a
BASIC-bucket so we more easily could dig the corners. I'd love to empty the
whole box into a larger container or move it part by part so nothing is missed
:)

I have a little work-in-progress inventory here:

In this case it was a fortunate accident. Someone attempted to tilt the box, the
result was that the bottom torned loose and fell out. Several AFOL's (including
me) dived on it like a swarm of hornets and started eating themselves trough the
resulting pancake of LEGO bricks. I've never seen fingers move so fast before.
As you understand: we've had lots of fun.

Nice. I suspect that the availibility per shop will be prone to frequent
changes. I wish that someone would care to maintain an inventory of the
brickshop of Legoland Billund.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

At Legoworld there were several cardboard boxes (I didn't count how many, but I
assume it was around or over 10), but there were more kids and alduts than there
was space around these boxes, so several shoppingbaskets were filled with bricks
from the boxes and sorted out elsewhere on the floor by the customers. Nice to
see people sitting on the floor digging through bricks in these shoppingbaskets
:-)
