Hi Todd,
That is the Allianz Arena, and it is indeed very impressive, but I believe it is
on display at Legoland Deutschland, not Billund:

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.
John
