 | | Orlando PaB -- Initial Report
|
|
I was able to get my first look at the Pick-a-Brick section in Orlando today. (Thanks go out to Frelan Collett for the ride.) My first impression was that it was smaller than I expected. The Pick a Brick display is basically a four sided rack with (...) (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)

Thanks for the report. Those (white) 30077 archy fences are one of my favorite parts (I really liked the yellow ones.) -Erik waiting for Chicago (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)

I have uploaded some pictures of the P-A-B setup to brickshelf. I included pictures of all of the bins in case my color listings were unclear.

The display as well as the containers, seem to be fairly similar to that of LIC Anaheim. However, the selection of some of the special bricks is different. For those of you wondering what LIC Anaheim Pick-A-Brick looks like, these pictures are (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl, lugnet.market.shopping)

There are definitely some great parts but I was disappointed that there is nothing smaller than a 1x2 brick - no 1x1s, and no plates (...)

(...) Keen! I take it by 'packing' you mean assembling the bricks together in the cup instead of just pouring them in there loose? Do you have any other tips on how to maximize brickage? :) I want to stop by there later today and see how many (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Thank you for having posted that summary of the Orlando PaB! I just got back from there, and the selection is a little different from what you saw last week. Specifically, the bin which used to hold 1x2 clear colorless bricks is now empty, and there (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)

(...) That might overstate it a bit unless you consider the spaces inside a brick that are too small (say the inside of a brick tube for instance) to take anything they sell "wasted". But it certainly might be interesting to track stats on! ++Lar (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)

(...) I considered that, but if you stack your bricks or otherwise arrange them in a generally right-side-up way in the container, they'll trap air bubbles beneath instead of getting filled with water. It still won't be an exact science, but it'll (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)

I wish there will be PaB's in Europe (please in the Netherlands, too, cause that's where I live). Last month I visited Legoland in Billund, Denmark. There is also a PaB, where you pay by weight. You don't need to spend hours of packing, cause that (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.fl.orl)
