I know it was discussed to death months ago, but I was looking for some links to
the inventories at the pick a brick stores (assuming all stores are the same)
and also the shape of the bricks that gives you the maximum
bricks-per-container. I remember these topics being discussed but I couldn't
find the links. Thanks!

Ondrew Hartigan (who works at the LEGO store in Woodfield Mall near Chicago)
posted this inventory a few months ago:
http://news.lugnet.com/market/buy-sell-trade/?n=16187 That post also has links
to pictures of what a cup's worth of bricks looks like. Since then, he's also
posted this: http://news.lugnet.com/market/buy-sell-trade/?n=16260 that shows
the new additions to the P.A.B. inventory at his store. When I went there, they
had run out of 1X1 trans-red tiles, 1X4 light blue bricks, 1X4 dusty blue bricks
and 2X2 red corner slopes.
Ondrew also posted this: http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=44284 that shows how
to get lots of 2X4's in the large size cups.
Please keep in mind though that Pick-a-Bricks can vary from store to store.
Hope this helps,
David "Fuzzy" Gregory

I realllly spent much time to get the inventory for the one at LLCA up and
going:
http://www.landofbricks.com/legoland/pickabrick.html
But once it got going I saw that every single time I went the selection changed
a great deal and there was just no way I could keep up. I go to LLCA between 3
and 5 times a month and even with that it changes too often and would just take
up too much time to figure out what was gone and what was new. Maybe if I did
not have two little kids pulling me away to take thim on some rides I could
spend more time on it - but not at this point, lol.
You can see in the pictures on my site that the selection at LLCA is much larger
than any of the stores - and due (I assume) to more people going there in a day
than prob go to a Lego store in a week (and a few people buying K8's at a time)
- the selection changes much more often.
I will note that the selection at LLCA has got better over time (but not as good
as the selection I have seen pics of at the other LL parks).
I would love to see the tips and tricks of getting the most into a cup. I am
just glad we do not have to deal with that at LLCA.

thanks for posting this.
i unfortunently am only working one day a week so it has become very difficult
to keep on top of the inventory. i will try to make perodic updates when i can
but i really can't put a time on it anymore. also if something isin't on the
wall the store may still have it. feel free to ask any employee to look for you.
we are usaly happy to help and at least at my store very knowlegable about part
names. also feel free to call and ask for me. if i'm there i would be happy to
tell you about what has come in.
later,
ondrew
p.s. if your trying to get ahold of me try sunday since i'm usaly working.
