Know of any good stores?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good places to buy LEGOs in
Colo. Springs.  The last time I was at the Toys R' Us by the Citadel Mall,
they didn't seem to have much of a variety of sets.  I found some Mindstorms
at the Discovery Channel store there though.

I've been trying to rebuild my collection (I gave all of my LEGOs away at a
particularly stupid point in my teenage years) and have been trying to find
buckets of pieces.  I couldn't find the 1200 piece blue tubs (3033) anywhere
and ended up ordering one through Amazon.com.  I've had little luck finding
the red bucket sets too, although I have managed to find a small one and a
large one at Wal*Mart (on 8th St.) on seperate occasions.

Has anyone had any luck finding anything out at the flea market?  Know of
any other good place to find used sets or collections of pieces?  I found a
large home maker set (the kind with lots of pink pieces, whatever its
called) at the ARC thrift store in the Uintah Gardens Shopping Center, but I
passed it up and it was gone the next time I went there.

Anyway, let me know.

(...) Unfortunately there's not really any "good" places to buy Legos here. Toys R Us is good for the latest stuff (with the exception of the SW sets, they didn't get those until well after other places got 'em.) I usually shop the Walmart up by (...)
