Anyone that has been to LEGOLand in Billund knows they had a giant stadium model
on display. Well, it appears that they have upgraded to a new model.
A friend passed me this link from Ezprezzo:

I am extremely impressed and the model is massive. Does anyone know what the
largest single model is? Is this close to the record or does it exceed it?

It has just been announced on the Danish news, that LEGO sold 70% of the
shares in the four Legoland Parks to American investment company Blackstone.
They will now be placed in Merlin Entertainment Group, together with the parks
Sea Life, Earth Explorer and Dungeons.

This looks like it will be good news - by reading this article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4678213.stm
it looks like there may be new parks in the future and they want to make the
park destination resorts - so this is good news.
The offical Lego PR can be found here:

but hey - as long as they keep the Commemorative Brick program at LLCA and FIX
the fabrik machine at LLD I will be a happy man ;)

What are the Pick-a-brick prices in Legoland, Billund (as of this summer), and
what are the prices for mixed bricks - all sold in the Brick Shop?
What kinds of boxes/cups/bags are available (sizes)?
Is everything sold by weight or volume, or both?
I'll be there next week, and I'm trying to prepare both myself and my credit
card. :)
Thanks

Todd,
The LEGO Fan tour descriptions are great! Thanks for all the effort writing
those so the rest of us could glimpse the LIT. I've also been looking through
the terrific BrickShelf folders.
Unless I missed it, I didn't see photos of the LIT exclusive kit. Any photos and
descriptions would really be appreciated. Thanks.

I was looking for postings to LUGNET about the LEGO Inside Tour and have found
nothing. So, I decided to post a few details and send you off to previous posts
at LEGO Fan.org.
First, I attended the first LEGO Inside Tour on May 26, 27, and 28 of 2005 and
it was fantastic. Another group is about to go and I wish them the same if not
better tour than we got.
I posted some rather long posts on LEGO Fan.org in the Forums area:

Never having been to Europe I had some trepidation at traveling. All of my fears
and anxiety was dissuaded by a terrific expereince. In fact, I am considering a
three park tour next year during a week or 2 of travel to Denmark, Germany, and
Great Britian.
There were so many great aspects to the trip that it is hard to narrow down to
just one or two things to share with you all. I would have to say, for the sake
of brevity, that the 2 best parts were talking to Kjeld and hearing some company
secrets and getting to rummage through the Element Shop in the Designers
Offices. I can truely say that Kjeld is a child at heart still in love with the
product his father and grandfather developed over the years. And from the
historical display, a part of the tour, it is easy to see the impact that Kjeld
had on the LEGO Company over his tenure.
What is there to say about the Element Shop. Imagine going into a warehouse
bigger than a 4 car garage and being able to browse the stack and leave with a
couple hand fulls of parts. Too cool for words!
With the ownership or rather the control of the parks up for sale, it is not
clear if there will be a third go around at the LEGO Inside Tour. Let's hope
they make it an annual experience that can be shared by LEGO Fans and Families
in the future.
