While visiting friends in Waterloo this weekend, I stopped by Bricks and Blocks
in St. Jacob's Mall and was suprised to find Pick A Brick in Canada and at a
store that is not owned by LEGO.

I dropped by the store today to see if anything had changed with the Pick A
Brick rack.  Good news... the rack seemed to be continuing to draw interest from
a number of shoppers.  Bad news... there are no new elements from the original
selection.  However, more good news... they are actually sold out of a couple of
elements (the 2x4 bricks with wheels attached and the 1x4 white picket fences).
The staff member I spoke to indicated the 'test' seemed to be going well.  So
hopefully this is a good sign (strong interest, good sales) that it will at
least continue, if not expand.

For the curious... the small bag I packed this time ended up with 158 elements
in it.  Or, about 3.8 cents each (before tax).

Best regards,
Allan B.

Hmm -- Allan, I tried responding to the email you sent me and it bounced back.
Both email@ and allanbedford@. Just thought you'd like to know...

(...) Tim, Thanks for the heads-up. That's pretty strange. Both should work. Plus, I've gotten other emails, as recently as this morning. Let me try from an alternate address, we'll see if that works. Thanks again, Allan (20 years ago, 4-Oct-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)
