Because those 3 Ontario stores carry special S@H packs and sets, discontinued items, have displays, and have only a huge honkin' LEGO logo out front, I had always assumed they were at least an officially recognized exclusive brand store.

Well, Brickshelf seems to be down this minute, so I can't pull out any direct links, but when it's back up, just do a search in the gallery for "pick-a-brick" or "pab", and you'll see pictures of the bins of bricks in these stores that you (...)
