(...) I live in Canada so your assumptions and comments are off the mark. We don't even get LEGO Brand stores in Canada and we pay a 25-30% premium on LEGO products (BEFORE taxes) just for the privilege of living north of the border. I understand (...)

(...) See, and the ironic thing is that the California LEGOLAND park is about the most poorly located major LEGOLAND park in the world. ABS doesn't like sunlight.
