Glad you saw some parts you liked. I was really hoping for new parts in new
colors. I am not thirilled about being offered basic bricks in basic colors
for the most part, but I can see why others may be. Different building needs
call for different things. But stuff like 2x4 black bricks do not really
spin my top ;)

What type of year pass do you have? I know my Primo pass says the same thing
- but they changed that about a year ago maybe? However long ago it was, it
has been some time now. If you have the basic block party pass (now called
the Regular LEGOLAND Membership) you do not get a discount on anything. But
if you have the Primo (now called the LEGOLAND Membership PLUS) or
Ambassador pass you get 10% off any retail purchase - now including bricks
and Lego sets (supposed to only be on purchace over $10, but some MCs let
you slide on that) and 25% off food at non-cart places. So it fyou jst have
the basic membership I would really suggest getting the Primo - it is well
worth it.

That is good to hear. That 'build and buy' program at the test track just
devistated that place. They never re-stocked it seemed. They started off
with over 10 different wheel types, and the last time I went there they were
down to 2 choices for wheels, and both were horrible choices. No long or
wide bricks or plates were left, you were left mostly with stuff like palm
leaves and air tanks and other usless junk to try to build some cars with. I
do not know if the problem they had laid in LLCA's hands or what, but that
place went from a place we went to on every single visit and built for over
an hour to a 5 minute stop every now and then. I really hope they can get
that place back up to its former glory, it has been a
looooooooooooooooooooong time since it was there.

| (...) I have a Block Party, but my wife has a Primo. I'll start asking about discounts on LEGO bricks as well. It seemed stupid that they didn't discount LEGO purchases. Actually, I usually do my LEGO shopping at the Lego Imagination Center in (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-03, to lugnet.legoland.california)
