  Re: 4400 available at US S@H (on backorder)
 
(...) Confirm that the inventory on peeron matches one tub that I just checked. A few notes... 1) The parts listed on the tub's side label are in seperate bags from the "Extra Value!" pcs. 2) Three of the parts are listed on the side label and have (...)

  Re: 4400 available at US S@H (on backorder)
 
I see that the 4400 is listed on S@H but is SOLD OUT and does not say anything about the bonus 300 parts. Nice score for those that got them! We can now only hope that they appear at a Walmart near us......... (21 years ago, 8-Nov-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: 4400 available at US S@H (on backorder)
 
(...) My 10 red tubs arrived today. I have opened one and I must say... this is the most eclectic collection of colors that I have ever seen in a tub or bucket. Bravo Lego ! Sometime later today or tomorrow, I will compare the contents to the (...) (21 years ago, 7-Nov-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: 4405 Blue tub (1305 pieces) now available from S@H (UK)
 
(...) Looks very comparative to the 4400 Tub. Obviously many differences, but still the lone 3x3 double convex slopes, lone 2x4 slopes and double slopes, etc. I do however envy these pieces: Trans-Light Blue Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Curved Top - (...)

  Re: My Pick-A-Brick Experience

  Re: My Pick-A-Brick Experience
 
I have made a couple trips to the Woodfield P-A-B store since it opened. I quikly learned that taking your time packing the blocks in can result in 30-40% or more increase in your spoils! Trees really require a few minutes work to pack in the cups (...) (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  My Pick-A-Brick Experience
 
I had the opportunity to visit the new Chicagoland LEGO store at Woodfield Mall last night. Tim Courtney and Ondrew Hartigan (who both work there but were not on duty) offered to meet me at the store and I met up with them shortly after 7:00. Over (...)

  Re: Dates of New Lego Store openings?

Just don't push for display space for MOC's for at least a month or so :) :) And seriously, if there were to (...)

(...) Haha, being a castle lover myself, I was drooling over the 56 grey 2x2s per tub... And you're right about the "usefulness" of 2x2s over 1x1s. -Bryan (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.se)
 
  Re: 4405 Blue tub (1305 pieces) now available from S@H (UK)
 
I'd rather have "too many" 2x2s than too many 1x1s. 2x2s are very useful (and easier to sell in the colors you don't need). The ton of grey 2x2s is a Castle lovers dream, I'm sure (I don't need them from my 20 tubs, so I'm selling all 1120 of them, (...)

  Re: Lego Kiosk

  Re: 4405 Blue tub (1305 pieces) now available from S@H (UK)
 
(...) Perhaps it is true! I have to ask, doubtless it has been asked before but what's with the huge number of 2x2 bricks ? Duplo always had way too many of these and looking thru the parts inventory for the tubs i see it still (2x2's hugely (...)

(...) Lego employees that happen to be both afol's and quite knowledagable about the Lego product and customer service--and sent them to the new stores before openings as trainers for the new employees...

  4400 - The Saga Continues
 
I saw a few 4400's at Kay Bee, Granite Run Mall, Media, PA. They were priced at $19.95. Unfortunately, they were not part of the "$20 Million Lego Blowout" promotion! Bryan (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
