Oops.... yeah, that's what I meant.... 28 2x4 small, 46 2x4 large bag

You're absolutely right Jason....
but I think the real value is in the colors that you can get:
- 2x4 and 1x4 medium blue bricks (not at Shop@Home)
- 2x2 trans red, blue, green bricks (not at Shop@Home)
- 2x2 UNIFORMLY COLOURED purple bricks
- other wierd colours
They're not as cheap as the old or new 1000-piece tubs on a $/piece ratio, but
46 2x4 bricks at $10 is so close to the S@H price of 50 2x4 for $10
(all canadian $$) - so if you figure in the impulse buy factor, and no shipping
costs, then the PAB is a slightly better deal IMHO...
Personally, I think even a small PAB is great - seems like bricks&blocks and/or
LEGO listened to our Canadian wishes, and I hope this PAB is a success so that
they expand it to Cookstown, and hopefully add more selection (technic, technic,
technic :))
Build well,
John
