I'll keep my eyes open. Even when LEGO was selling the full line
of trains in the stores, the only place around here that had
any was Eatons, and all I remember there was a metrostation and
some track (many years ago). The last Metroliner I saw on a
toy store shelf was actually in Girder & Beams (a toy store
that just closed in Vancouver), and that was over three
years ago :(.

The independent (and expensive) place just opened last August,
so they have nothing. They recently closed my favourite
scummy-neighbourhood Zellers. I will keep my eyes open.

Sounds great. If you are taking your course at Dal, they
have a scent-free policy. Not a big deal to most, but
my lungs have this nasty habit of stopping working in the
presence of fragrances :(.
I know there are a few more AFOLs in Halifax as well.

I spent seven years at UBC, so I'm used to the 'snow, what is that,
it never snows here' mentality :).
