Well... I actually never go to TRUs - I don't drive (yet!) and the closest one
to me is ~an hour drive. I often buy in KB (on sale of course - otherwise it's
too expensive :) or in The Construction Site... a small, privately owned
store. So you're not alone... However TCS is truly the best lego store in
Boston (it won 'best toy store of the year') and carries the whole Dacta line
as well as lots of hard to find sets.

As an Israeli, I always bought sets in the US or Europe (Germany mostly). Now
I live in the US and my "lego fix" is getting stocked up for the years to come
(in which I'll go back to Israel and will prolly buy sets twice a year. Ugh.)

Thank you! It's really nothing, check out Ed Boxer's Castle (first ever
CLSotW) for the coolest structures I've ever seen, Craig or Jeff S.'s for the
best minifigs, Pawel's and Jeff J's and Eric K's and Dave E's and, oh --too
many excellent sites to mention.
Mine is pale in contrast, believe me ;-)
