(...) I made a trip to the Woodfield store in March. If you're looking for standard LEGO bricks (2x4 brick) they had a very nice assortment of colors. So, their stock was very nice for people who build buildings, or stuff like that. (not me) They (...) (21 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, FTX)
