The big question remains, what to get if provided with such an opportunity!
Big ticket items which take up more trolley space, or many smaller sets,
of which you could get many, but not so great piece selections? Or a
mixture.....
Grab a mindstorms, a few 8277's and shuttles perhaps, buckets..........
Only 2 minutes? Couldn't I possibly have five, or maybe borrow a forklift
truck, rip the whole shelves out of place, and drive that over the finish
line? What do you mean I can't keep the sets that fall off the end? I
spent a fortune hiring the da** thing!
Or even one of their big pallet moving tug thingies, and a pallet. Position
it to be able to drive straight to the finish line. Park it so that the
greatest range of sets are within reach of the pallet, so you can just
sweep sets with your arm off the shelves and onto the pallet!
Pick up armfuls of big boxes at a time, sweep smaller boxes, pile buckets,
10000 worth of lego!
"Richard! Get up! You should have left for work an hour ago!"
