(...) If you're going to be in Waltham, the closer of the two LEGO stores is at the Burlington Mall, which is probably no more than 15 or 20 minutes North of Trapelo Rd. (Except during rush hour.)

Thanks Brian, the photos help a lot! My feeble 3rd attempt is somewhat similiar in design. (URL) This stack is built in 15 layers. The photo shows each and the amount of bricks used. As with all cups, you start with 21-1x2's in the moat at the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Where are the new Boston area LEGO stores (I think there are two)? I am not super familiar with the area but may be in Waltham next Tuesday for a meeting.

Not shown are packing the bottom groove (18 1x2's) and the lid (4 2x4 bricks and 6 1x1's) as they are both straight forward. The moderated folder is (URL) (...)

Kmart currently has Lego at buy 1, 50% off the second item. Tub #4107x2 2,000 pieces for $30.00. Not as good as the #4400 was but still only .015 per item.

I don't build exclusively with any particular brick size, so I don't mind mixing types within a cup. The LEGO Imagination Center in (...)

Here is my method of stacking 143 2x4 bricks, 2 2x2 and 21 1x2 in a Pick-A-Brick cup and still having the lid snap tight. I watched Chris Phillips pack one cup then took the idea home and used some trial and error to improve my piece counts. I just (...)
