I just visited the LEGO Store in Burlington MA yesterday and they were running
this same promotion. You get a large PaB cup free with a $75 purchase, small
cup with any $50 purchase. I don't know how long the promotion will be running,
though. The store employees had actually pre-packed a number of small cups to
give to people who couldn't be bothered to do it for themselves.

I've got my 138 2x4 method committed to memory, sparing me the embarassment of
pulling my business card sized "cheat sheet" out of my wallet. I heard a few
people commenting when they saw me filling a cup and I think they started to
copy me on the spot.

I had a similar experience. My wife wandered into my LEGO room the other day
and noticed a few of the Pick-a-Brick cups sitting there. She picked one up and
said "this is cool, where'd you get it?" I replied, "isn't it?" and quickly
changed the subject, hoping she wouldn't see the large (and growing) stack
beneath my building table. That came close to violating our "don't ask don't
tell" policy with regard to our indulgent purchases... (Whew!)

| (...) Nor do I. My wife asked but they did not know. No signs in the store so I guess it could end without warning. Now I wish that we would have had more time last night. If you buy 6 large cups at $12.95 (about $77.00) you will get another free. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
