(We live only about an 8-minute drive away, and since they have the largest LEGO selection in the entire Greater Boston area, you can imagine how frequently we go there. :) Did you know that they have adult play-days there from time to time (every few months or so)? Last August, people (about 20) came from all around the Boston area and talked about LEGO, showed some of their creations, and decorated & ate minifig cookies. :) I think they had a Mindstorms get- together in February (I forget which month it was). > I can't imagine ever ending up in Boston (unless it's fairly close to > Orange, CT, where Rachael has family) but if I do I'm going to make > a point of stopping by and meeting the people who run this shop. Everyone's great who works there -- and they're all great LEGO builders. BTW, there was a house that they built out of LEGO for a feature in the Boston Globe a couple weeks ago... (I'll crosspost this message to the .build group.) Here are some photos: http://www.boston.com/technology/packages/click/home.shtml http://www.boston.com/technology/packages/click/home_graphic.shtml http://www.boston.com/technology/packages/click/kitchen_gallery.shtml http://www.boston.com/technology/packages/click/multimedia_gallery.shtml http://www.boston.com/technology/packages/click/garage_gallery.shtml They currently have this house model on display in the front window of their store, alongside a diorama of the new Star Wars LEGO sets. > Oh, if you want to order the polybags you do need to call.

Yeah, this isn't really their fault. It's a LEGO policy. They are, however, allowed to sell DACTA directly via the web. (DACTA is a separate corporate sub-entity of LSI and has different rules.) --Todd
