Sorry for not being specific enough. In LIC I meant Lego Imagination Center.
As Jon said it is in the new Downtown Disney and has been open for about a
month. The phone number in case anyone is intrested is 714-991-6512. I just
got home from my fourth trip there. To be honest I'm actually a little
disappointed in the store. So far they are stocking almost only 2000 and
2001 sets that can be found pretty much everywhere else. Prices are a bit
above normal retail prices too, but that's life in the Disney Universe. The
biggest disappointment is the lack of service packs (only 5151, or something
similar)in this store, unlike the Orlando LIC, which I had the pleasure of
visiting in October of 1999. The Orlando store also seemed to carry a larger
selection of older sets, as well as SOH exclusive sets such as 6473 RES-Q
Cruiser and 6435 Coast Guard HQ, for example. What I am impressed with are,
like Jon said, the mass quantities of Minifig Heroes sets available (I have
most of them now) as well as 2 of the 3 new model sets, 3723 LEGO
Mini-Figure and 3450 Statue of Liberty!!!! They have a 3450 built and on
disply behind the cashwrap and I must say it is pretty impressive, albeit
smaller than I imagined. I'm already saving up my $200. I can't wait to
build it, then break it down and use the 2800 pieces of 'sand green glory'
on something else!! I was also able to pick the first Alpha Team set
released, 6771 Ogel Command Striker last week. Ogel now wears a black great
helm, carries a black lance, and rides a black steed while leading my evil
forces into battle... If anyone has any questions about LIC Anaheim please
let me know and I'll be happy to answer.

PS- I searched through the parts bin in the store's Belville section looking
for a 1x1 round plate in pink for Shiri's wheel, but as she said it doesn't
appear to be produced. I do have a dk pink flower (Rose/flower, get it?)
that she may be able incorporate into the wheel. Let me know if you want it
Shiri. BTW your latest MOC is fantastic!
