Just don't make them so damn exclusive. I'm among the lucky people who
have a brand store in less than an hours drive away, but even *they*
don't carry the sets that I'd like to buy there.
Take bulk packs. The PAB in Cologne has a mediocre selection of mostly
useless (for me) bricks, most of them too bulky (as they are selling by
volume). They could sell bulk packs at least of the smaller parts that
would be too bad for volume-based sales. Instead, they squander space by
selling sword and bionicle claws made from styrofoam (SP?)...
And even S@H does not sell the things I'd really love to buy - and the
brand store actually *has* them, but doesn't want to sell them...
It is a mad, mad world in Billund. If I look up into the Danish sky,
what colour will I see? Pink? Yellowinsh green? A shade of Purple? Who
knows...
Yours, Christian
