The large bag at St Jacobs is smaller than the bag in the photo linked above. A
lot smaller, IIRC. The small bag has a little less volume than a 355ml can of
pop. The large bag exceeds the dimensions of the small bag by about two cm in
each dimension when folded flat. I think it could fit the entire can of pop
inside with a bit of room to spare. I'm not sure, I didn't buy one. Both Derek
and I came to the conclusion the small bag was a better deal.

The selection and staff are excellent. The prices, at least for this cheapskate Canadian, are okay but not something I'd find worth the drive for. They're about the same as any other retailer. The PaB and more unusual items make it worth the trip. Once in a while they get something really good (Rotation sensors for cheap or those Window and Door sets they had for $3.50 back when Lego Canada cleared out their stock.) but it's few and far between.
