That would be very interesting. I saw some turnover in the four days I was
there. I suspect they would sell even better if they (the store) would link
certain part together somehow. They had two kinds of wheels (larger ones that
mount to standard Technic pins, and the smaller smooth ones that snap onto small
thin axles molded as part of certain plates). But both of these needed three
parts (tire, hub, and axle mount), and while all the parts where there, they
were not spatially close to each other, and there was no way for 95% of the
folks running through there to know it (heck, I had to look for a while until I
discovered the small wheel hubs).
But by all means, ask in the early morning - after noon, that place is a zoo.
I've never walked on so much LEGO in my life.
Oh, they also have 1x4 brown "log" bricks (old brown, I think), floresent
trans-green 2x2 "domes", and, well... lots of other goodies. There was even a
Brick Grab Bag with some 16x32 green baseplates in it.
