Replying to several related messages... (...) Are the Discovery Mills ones really filled with as much as a large PAB cup for the price of a small? That size seems to be the same as the grab bags the stores fill with returned pieces. The store policy (...) (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

Are you a Quebec City AFOL ? Contact me. We could meet and start a Club in the area. (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.ca, lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.loc.ca.qc.que, lugnet.general)

(...) I wish I found out about this earlier! The surveillance car at $17 is already a decent price (considering it's a $40 set) but for $8?! AAAAHH!! Well I shouldn't be spending money on LEGO now anyway. -Bryan (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) That's neat - glad to hear they pulled off a PAB selection there. Do they hold you to the policy of not stacking bricks? (URL) there's a lot of wasted space in the bag... Ed (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) This is cool. Finally Pick-A-Brick has come to Canada. Now I'm kicking myself for not taking my wife up on the offer to swing by St. Jacob's on the way back from Marineland the previous weekend. D'oh! How much did you pick up? Play well. Tim (...)

(...) This look like the same bucket tree used at Discover Mills. The bags there go for I think 6.99 USD and seem to hold about the same, or maybe a trifle more, than a large PAB cup. (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Those are all the buckets. The tree has 32 of them. Unfortunately, someone walked in front of the one picture I took of it. I was thinking of getting one of everything for the inventory but decided to take pictures instead. The red slopes and (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Well, that's just my feeling, but it was based on a very quick comparison. I'd be interested to hear from someone who packed one of each, to see whether or not the large bag can hold $4 worth more than the small. (...) I don't think so. :( I (...)

Keep in mind, in some of the buckets they mix together 2 or 3 different shapes/sizes of the same colored element. (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)
