It's an awesome vid!
Nice layouts!

I just picked up the DUPLO tub with gold bricks at
Be Beep in Severna Park. They also had the
DUPLO bucket and the LEGO tub with gold bricks.
Unfortunately, Be Beep has taken down their
Pick-A-Brick section. The
person I spoke with said that PaB had been discontinued due to lack of sales,
and that the PaB display had been shipped to a toy store in Boston
(The Construction Site, perhaps?)

Both on both counts. Although, Annapolis is a smaller store and their PaB is
even smaller than Severna Parks.

The store is called Be Beep, and aside from
having Pick-a-Brick, they also have a LEGO Expo every year (April 27th - May
11th this year), where you can display a model in their front window. And the
staff is great!
The PaB bags come in
two sizes,
a $3.95 size and a $6.95 size. I filled both size bags up with 1x4 plates, and
the smaller size was a little more cost-effective - 2.67 cents per piece versus
3.44 cents per piece in the bigger bag (or 148 plates versus 203 in the big
bag).
The part selection is similar to the
Tysons Corner Brand Retail store, albeit not as extensive. I got 1x4 plates in
sand blue, as well as 2x4 plates in green.
All in all, very cool, and I hope PaB in independent stores catches on. Of
course, now I’ll never be able to leave without making at least one purchase...

There was an article in last Sunday's Baltimore Sun about the Brick Testament
book and website. It was the 30 Novemver 2003 issue, and the feature was titled
"Building a colorful, accessible Bible, brick by Lego brick".
There is a version of the article on the paper's website (you have to register
to read it), but I don't have an actual physical copy of it.
I wasn't given advance warning of the publication date for this one, so I'm left
posting here to see if anyone who lives in that area might just happen to still
have their Sunday paper around, and see if they woudln't mind sending me a copy
of the article. It would be most appreciated.
I'll try to get at least the text of the article up on the Brick Testament press
page soon, but I'm away from home right now and can't update it just yet.

Adam --
I find it hard to believe that the Kingston MA TRU store had run out, because I
was there the same day, June 30th 1999, and they had 9 sets (8 after I left the
store 8-) The price was about $138 ($129.99 plus tax).
There were 3 sets on the bottom shelf, and 6 more (in two different places) on
the top-top shelf where the store keeps their "overstock". That's a total of 8
8480 Space Shuttle sets in 3 separate locations. I was there at about 8:30 PM
and the store closed at 9:30 and the odds of 8 other people buying that set in
an hour are too low for me to believe.
Sorry to bother you Baltimore folks with this but that's where Adam and Rob
Doucette were when they started this discussion <: I've put followup-to the
Boston group.

Well, I was only visiting Baltimore, I'm actually living up in Boston
(I found your message b/c it mentioned the Contruction Site). I tried
to get a shuttle from the Kingston, MA TRU, but they were gone. But
since I grew up about a mile from the TRU on Rte. 40 in Balto, I
snagged one the next time I went home to see the family (and no, I
didn't schedule the trip just to get the shuttle, but I might have if
I hadn't been going already <G>).

Thanks Rob! When I went into the TRU mentioned above (Rte. 40 in
Baltimore) there were four 8480s on the shelf. As I left, there were
three. <G> All had somwhat damaged boxes, save the one that I bought.
The shelf price was $159, but the one I bought rang up $129. Perhaps
they'd reduce the price further for the damaged boxes (I was in a
hurry so I didn't try asking).

Just returned from a weekend trip home to MA. Made the trek up to the
Construction Site in Waltham. This place has the best selection of Lego of
any retailer (on-line or otherwise) that I've seen. They've got lots of
Dacta sets available which I found rather unique. Their web site is at
http://www.constructiontoys.com/ , I think there are directions to the store
on the web site. This is the kind of business RTLers and LUGNETers need to
support, IMHO.
I was able to find the Sheriff's Lock Up. They have most of the WW sets
including Fort LEGOREDO as well as the Adventurer's 5909 with the Mummy Case
if you're looking for one of those. If you are planning on traveling to
eastern New England, MAKE THE TRIP!!! You won't be disappointed.
Okay, now for the 8480 Space Shuttles, the TRU in Kingston, MA, behind the
Independence Mall, has 6 or 7 8480s on the shelf, in what looked like, good
shape. I didn't price them, but I'm sure they were the standard $149.99 +
5% MA tax. They had one Technic Giant Model set (the yellow one, didn't get
the price or set number). Also, the TRU on the Baltimore Pike (west of I695)
in Maryland had 8480s the last time I looked (May??).

Hi, I posted to RTL already, but I've been somewhat busy.
I found new '99 sets in the TRU on Rockville Pike, and they are also in either
Bethesda or Langley Park (I'm not sure which one my mother and sister went to.)
They should be in most of the other stores in the area by now.
Enjoy!
Jeff
P.S. My sister met the Lego Rep when she went (why does everyone but me meet
them?!?!) and the rep said the '99 sets weren't supposed to be on the shelves
until January 2. (That didn't stop my sister from picking up 5976 River
Expedition fo me ;)) Anyone heard this before?

information about LEGO® brand toys.
As a user of this site, you are expected to read, understand, and
abide by the Terms of Use as set forth herein. If a portion is
unclear to you, you should ask a parent or guardian to explain, or
write to terms@lugnet.com for clarification.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF USE
By using LUGNET, you agree to the following:

inaccuracies or omissions are possible and that this site is not
necessarily suitable to every purpose.
4. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators do not control or censor
content in discussion groups. The LUGNET discussion group server

this Terms of Use document.
5. You will not hold LUGNET or its creators, owners, operators,
or related entities responsible or liable ("indemnify and hold
harmless") for the inability to connect to or use this site,
or for any lost or corrupted data, or for any defamatory or
offensive material(s) which you may encounter on or originating

7. By posting messages, uploading files, inputting data, or engaging

granting LUGNET and its owners a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-
free, unrestricted, non-exclusive, worldwide license to:
i. Use, copy, publish, sublicense, adapt, transmit, archive,
restore, publicly perform, or display any such communication
in any medium, and to
ii. Sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to
exercise any or all of the foregoing rights granted with
respect to the communication.
8. You understand that LUGNET owners or operators are regular LEGO
fans just like you, and that when they post to discussion groups,
their opinions and comments are their own and do not necessarily
reflect the opinions or policies of LUGNET.
9. You understand that LUGNET and its owners and/or operators have
no obligation to acknowledge, mediate, or otherwise settle any
disputes or differences of opinion which may arise between users.
Although we hope that everyone can play well together, we must
reserve the right to allow or to refuse access to this site to
anyone, for any reason, with or without prior warning or explanation.
Additional terms and conditions appear below.
DISCUSSION GROUP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
LUGNET includes discussion groups which allow feedback and
interaction between users. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators
do not control or censor messages, information, or files delivered
to discussion groups. It is a condition of your use of the
discussion groups that you do not:
1. Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the discussion
groups.
2. Falsely present yourself as a representative, employee, or
official of a LEGO company or of LUGNET through the accidental or
deliberate use of trademarks or servicemarks in your identity or
through misleading or confusing statements in your postings.
3. Post anonymously or post any message in which the 'From:' header
is not an e-mail address under your control. (Spamblocks are OK,
however, so long as it is possible for a reasonably intelligent
human to reconstruct your e-mail address using clearly documented
instructions, which you must include in each such message.)
4. Post using a pseudonym, alias, screen-name, handle, alter-ego,
meno, or any other type of name which is not your own or which
hides your true identity, unless your real name and identity is
clearly understood, accepted, and documented by the community as
the true identity behind such messages.
5. Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous,
defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent
information of any kind, including without limitation any
transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or
otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international
law.
6. Post or transmit any information, software, or other material
which violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including
material which is an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or
which is protected by copyright, trademark, or other proprietary
right, or derivative works with respect thereto, without first
obtaining permission from the owner or right holder.
7. Post or transmit any information, software or other material
which contains a virus or other harmful component.
8. Post non-plain-text content such as HTML, multi-part MIME
messages, or so-called "binaries" including but not limited to:
images, sounds, multimedia files, computer programs, and blocks
of text created using binary-to-text conversion utilities such
as BinHex, uuencode, btoa, and PGP message encryptions (short
PGP signatures, however, are permitted by the server).
9. Post information or material for commercial purposes which is not
reasonably related to LEGO toys or which contains advertising
which is not reasonably related to LEGO toys.
10. Post or re-post a message excessively, especially unsolicited
advertisements, even if they are directly or indirectly related
to LEGO toys.
11. Post auction announcements, updates, or listings in discussion
groups which do not explicitly welcome their presence.
12. Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion to a
more appropriate location. (There is a fair amount of leeway
here, since it is natural for discussions to drift, and moving
a discussion can sometimes be inconvenient or difficult. If in
doubt, appeal to common sense.)
13. Cross-post excessively, since many newsreader software programs
do not handle cross-posted articles elegantly or transparently.
LUGNET, its owners, and its operators have no obligation to monitor
the discussion groups. However, LUGNET and its owners and/or
operators reserve the right at all times to disclose any information
as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or governmental request,
or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or
materials, in whole or in part, that in the sole discretion of LUGNET
and its owners and/or operators are in violation of these terms and
conditions or of applicable law.
If you choose to use any mark owned by the LEGO Group as part of your
identity, you do so at your own risk. LUGNET can neither advise you
nor protect you if you infringe on the rights of the LEGO Group.
However, there are some common-sense guidelines which you must follow
as additional conditions of your use of the LUGNET discussion groups:
14. If you use a LEGO mark as part of your identity, and you are not
an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, you must include
an appropriate disclaimer in each post you make, noting (a) that
you are not associated in any way with the LEGO Group and that
your posts are unofficial and do not represent the views,
opinions, or policies of the LEGO Group, and (b) that the mark
or marks you are using are owned by the LEGO Group.
15. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, and
you wish to post as such, you must clearly indicate your title,
position, or relationship with or within the LEGO Group. Your
employer may also require you to include a disclaimer protecting
them from your personal opinions.
16. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, but
you wish to post on your own behalf as an independent LEGO
enthusiast and not as an employee or representative, you are not
required by LUGNET to disclose your affiliation. However, your
employer may have its own ideas about your participation; if in
doubt, consult your employer for appropriate posting guidelines.
The foregoing is not legal advice, and LUGNET and its owners cannot
guarantee that it is a bullet-proof formula for avoiding the dilution
or infringement of marks owned by the LEGO Group or for circumventing
rules which your employer may impose upon you. Questions on the
nature of trademarks or servicemarks should be directed to a
qualified legal professional. If in doubt, it is probably wisest
simply to avoid the use of LEGO trademarks as part of your personal
identity.
DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES
LUGNET and/or its owners, creators, operators, and/or related
entities make no representations about the suitability of the
information contained in the documents and related graphics
