I mentioned this in another post this week, but I think that I cannot go
to a Legoland until TLC/LD starts selling bulk parts in off colors
(light blue, etc). It has been mentioned many times that some folks
have gone to a Legoland park and seen all these neat buildings made of
parts that we can not obtain in colors that are very limited, as far as
public availability goes.
Annoyance and anger have been some of the emotions that others have
described as feeling when going there.
Me? I would probably be incoherent with rage, and they would have to
drag me off frothing at the mouth uttering something about why TLC is
torturing us in this way. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep
looking at the Legoland pictures in the Ultimate Lego Book, and keep my
bloodpressure in check.
I wonder if many folks who HAVE visited Legoland get annoyed with this.
Knowledge can be a dangerous thing!
