My once in a lifetime find was in 3 small toystores (5 miles apart) in northern
Bavaria Germany in 1979... shall I say (all MINT) - 2500 windows & doors (#214
1-10)  LEGO dealer boxes, (3) 1962 wooden box sets (#712, #712,  #711) , a Building
Idea Book #1 (#238), a hardcover book DER LEGO MOTOR (#242), (30) 1960's service
packs, (10) sets of blue train track (#151, #152), (10) old LEGO Catalogs, (2) old
Wild West Scene (#365), (2)  Harbor Scene (#364), (3) Central Train Stations (#149),
(3) Shell Refineries (#148) and (2) Thatcher Perkins Locomotive model kits (#396),
all for under $300.  What a grand way to come out of the dark ages...... the story
people love to hate...

What you describe is possible, I know, as I found it about twelve months ago and
have been madly buying up as much as I can before someone else stumbles on the
store, a once in a lifetime find.

Picture this, you find a tiny little toy store hidden somewhere in the bowls
of a mall....and inside you find every single Lego set you ever wanted (even
some you never thought existed) every town, technic, space, castle, and pirate
sets ever made, all of them at %50 off!
Don't you think that would be great!?
Don't you think that would be fantastic!?
Don't you think that would be the best day of your life!?
Don't you think I was incredibly dissapointed when I woke up!?
Oh well.
We all know that a day like that can and will never happen....
But at least we can dream it did :-)
