I think they have a few Mindstorms boxes and some Dacta classroom kits, but no bulk parks etc. They were willing to pull stuff out of their warehouse, but the particularly interesting (...)

|
| (...) To be more specific, the main set's track is the new dark grey, and the extra box is the old dark grey. I can imagine the confused calls to customer service now... *sigh* -Bryan (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.loc.ca)

| Likewise around Mississauga area, they hit 70 a week before Christmas and GONE! Even at 100 that's a steal BUT BE WARNED, the track in the main set, is one colour grey, and the add-on boxes are another!! Silly packaging. (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.loc.ca)

|
| (...) The Costco in our area (Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam) had them for $99 but then they marked them down further to $69.99! After that, they got sold out very quickly. :( -Bryan (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.loc.ca)

The only problem is that it's a little far--otherwise, I'd find myself much more (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.loc.ca.on, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
