You get to choose them from literally over 100kg in large boxes.  What is
there depends on what they randomly put in.  Most bricks are there -
somewhere - but the ones you want could be available in the other session.
You might get the chance to pick a few bricks from LEGO heaven, but
whether they'll take you there again is another matter - I think we were a
little too enthusiastic last time.

I've just got my photos back from last time - only a couple - Helen
holding the LEGO Bagpuss:

and when hobbies collide: David Bryce (a Scottish architect I'm
researching) in LEGO at Blair Castle:

I plan a more typical Bryce house at minifig scale soon...

Incidentally, for those of you going on the forthcoming RLD weekend, Helen
and I used our free tickets on Monday, so here's what they had in stock
you might be interested in buying.  In the Big Shop were plenty of Santa
Fe trains at £27, and both carriages at £25.  I gave in and bought one of
10022.  Also lots of all the new Harry Potter sets.  No spectacular
bargains that I could see.

The MyTown shop had plenty of the Black Falcon's castle, newly reissued as
10039, for £30.  Also all the MyTrain sets, and a few bulk brick packs at
S@H prices: 2x4 bricks in black and sand red, train doors in blue, 2x2
white windows, and 4x5 black/clear windows.  So if you don't get what
you're after, you might find it...

Thanks all for your help. If I do book it, it won't be for the next one, it'll be next year sometime (if they still do it)... I suppose the only thing left is to ask what exactly you get in the kilo of bricks (24 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
