Alex,

While I don't know the assortments compared to NY and NJ, I can tell you that
the assortment of parts is better at Tyson's Corner than the outlet.

The last time I was there (before Christmas) at both locations, the Outlet had
red 1x6 rounded wedge with 2 studs available, and 1x3 magenta (hot pink?)
bricks. They have had 1x2 trans dark green bricks too..plus what I would assume
to be basic assortment parts (red plates, yellow bricks, etc.)

The Tysons Corner store had green doors, I think white doors, 1x2 technic bricks
with one hole, 1x4x2(?) trans light blue windscreens, sand blue bricks, and tan
bricks worth note. There's a lot more there, but again, they seemed to be basic
parts...therre were also chairs and window parts

Tysons also has service packs, but only one type when I looked last...the
technic gear and turntable set. The outlet has had slim pickings on service
packs for a while now. But the outlet sometimes has grab bags of parts, and
those are sometimes really nice.
