Can anyone tell me where this marvelous place is?
<http://www.malug.hu/gallery/album21/aab>
Is it in a park, or freestanding retail? I see pricing in Euro and what might
be German on some signs, but I'm not even sure photos in this directory are all
from the same place.

Looks like PaB Billund to me... it squares with what I remember of how it
looked. I could be mistaken though!

OK, that's it, I've got to win the lottery so I can take a shopping trip ;-)
With a new house being built, that's the only way I'll get there any time soon.

?? Why should I need apologising to, based on what you build or don't ?? (or did
you mean a different Larry?) What are they, eurotrash or something? :-)
I am currently building something designed by Dean Husby, although I may do some
mods to it/them.

Yep, that's Billund alright.
Here are some more photos which show the entire inventory at Easter:

I have been there again today, and it's pretty much the same, just a few
addiions like light green leafy bushes.
You had better hope for a large lottery win because it's 500Kr per Kg, or
US$80 per Kg, which is US$36 per lb, assuming you have 454g in your lbs.

Oh man - if I died and went to LEGO heaven, that's what it would look like...

Speaking of PaB - I hear that Legoland Windsor now has a greater selection
of items compared to last year.
Does anyone have any up to date photos yet? I'm going to be there next month
and would love to know what they have...
Same applies for Carlsbad.

Well, I can tell you that they have a load of pearl light grey (like
the grille bricks on the Santa Fe cars) that are supposed to be "LL
Windsor Exclusive" (Don't know about other LLs, though); they do indeed
have a TON of PaB boxes now; I was there not 8 days ago, and there are
4 major sections in different corners of the PaB shop. Unfortunately
the selection was not quite what I'd hoped, in part because it was a
weekend; however, I still got two large cups of light grey (old) 2x2
macaroni for UKP22 (it's 11 quid a cup). Not too bad.
By the way, it seems LL CA has the "new classic space jacket" torsos
in their PaB mix; I wonder if Windsor will get them.
No photos, sadly; I may take the camera if I go later this week (the
best day, I think, is probably a Thursday to go--though Huw or others
may wish to correct me on this).

If you buy more than a kilo its also sold by weight at £22.50 / kilo. Although
you may have to point the small print on the signs out to the shop staff as not
all of them seem to be aware of this!

Macaroni, eh? That's the first sighting of that there, AFAIK. Did you leave
any? :-)
The shop has been decimated since the opening weekend, and the last time I
was there, mid April, it hadn't been restocked. Consequently, the useful
stuff like tan, dark orange, dark grey etc. had been depleted.

I wonder if kids or AFOLs or both are attracted to this resource? Either way,
why doesn't TLG get the message that people want to buy stuff in this free form
manner. How can you open a shop, watch its stock levels deplete, and not bother
to restock. Especially as they should be actively investigating ways of
generating revenue.

Did they have the pearl light grey colors at that time?
The macaroni: I only took two cups, less than half; should have grabbed
four or five, if I'd had my wits about me, but when I went back to
the PaB shop at 4:30pm all the macaroni were gone, gone, gone.
They had yellow macaroni too, of which I got about 1/4 cup. Dark
orange still seemed apparent, but tan and dark grey were hurting
pretty badly. They had loads of 2x2x2 trans slopes, though, which
were pretty nice, and I'm hoping to see (oh hope, hope!) 3x3 light grey
corner slopes appear--I know they were appearing in Billund--and maybe
some of the stuff showing up at LL CA now, too.
Maybe I should go on Friday, before the weekend rush. Definitely get
there right at opening (1pm) of the PaB shop. Look for the drooling
American.

I called them today and talked to the supply folks.
They state that an order is being placed this week
for new PaB parts, to be fulfilled sometime after
mid-June. So nothing new will probably be in the
mix until then, according to LLW.
