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.
all best
