I agree. I hope those within driving range will at least drop by at some point
to see it and tell the store how interested they are to see the feature added.
For those of you who've never been to St. Jacob's this is a great time to make
the trip. The store is in an outlet mall, so if you're bringing someone who's
not into LEGO rest assured they will have lots of other shopping they can do.
:)
I also emailed the store at:
waterloo@bricksandblocksoutlet.com
To let them know I'd been in and spent some money on the Pick-A-Brick rack. Not
sure it it will help them turn this from test into a standard feature, but I
figured it couldn't hurt.
Best regards,
Allan B.
