Yeah, I have a bit of a gripe about them too, I thought it might be just the
location (Eaton Center == first choice of lots of rich+busy parents), but the
one at Scarbourgh Center is almost as bad as well.
Actually - you might want to check out Scarbourgh Center too - a lot of weird
shops like The Bay have older LEGO - shops that I didn't expect to find LEGO
in.. although I don't usually look out for Technic!

I don't think they do have any older town/castle, although they do have high
shelves so I could be wrong!

I'm about 20-30% sure that I have seen a 5571 somewhere in Toronto, if you
haven't checked them out, then Dufferin + Scarbourgh Center would be the places
to go!

distant future - I'm visiting later this and next week too :)
