Hi Chris,
I'm not aware of any super PaB store. The best Lego store in many ways is Busy
Bee in Manchester (where I live) because it has a good selection of old sets but
it has no PaB.
It might help if you can be more specific about what you're after. Retail sets
are probably pointless to buy here and even S@H exclusives might not be worth
it. PaB selections can vary a lot with time so your best bet would be to check
closer to the time or make a list of parts you want to get and post it here.
The Legoland store is inside the park but to be honest, you really should go to
the park if you get a chance. You may also want to try the BulkTracker again as
Brickish has been playing up for a while and has just been fixed in the last
hour.
Tim
PS. Remember that it might be better value to buy some stuff from BrickLink than
from PaB, especially if it comes from the US where prices are much lower.
