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...

Absolutely, and I certainly don't mean to imply that I won't be giving them a
bunch of my business.  In fact I will be there this weekend to pick up a 'few'
things. :)

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 :))

Indeed, this is a very welcome addition to the LEGO retail landscape in Canada
and I can't wait to see it continue and expand!

Oh yeah, I forgot to thank you for getting this very useful info.  Thanks!

Build well,

John
