My version of this dream is finding that elusive strip mall that has the Mr. Bulky
LEGO Parts store. You go inside and see nothing but large barrels or bins all
over the place. Each barrel has a plastic lid and a large scoop inside with
different LEGO elements in each barrel/bin. You take large plastic bags, and fill
them (using the scoops) with a large quantity of tiles, windows, arches, railing
pieces, macaroni bricks, clear bricks, and large quantities of extreme slope
corner bricks. They all get weighed at the register, and you pay only for what
you need. And while you're at the register, you pick up a box or two of
prepackaged teal, pink and light blue bricks, and off the register rack you also
purchase a sticker book of 1970's LEGO stickers.
Some people count sheep in their sleep, I count the LEGO bins......
