I wonder if there is any list of all LEGO Imagination Centers / LEGO Outlet Stores. I know about 9 different ones so far: Chicago Copenhagen - Airport Copenhagen - Fisketorvet London - Bluewater Florida - Disneyworld L.A. - ??? plus: one in each (...)

(...) For anyone that missed out on the October 1999 or November 1999 bricks from the Lego Outlet store openings last year, pick up an extra 1-3 of the dated bricks and we can swap. Ben Roller (26 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Now hold up a sec! Whilst I agree with Todd, berating Benjamin over something he has no control over won't actually accomplish anything.
