I agree 100% with Rob's comments. I get to Orlando for work on a regular
basis so I try to swing by the LIC when I can. Last year it seemed like
they had more odd stock than they have recently. Also, the amount of brick
related items in the store seems to have decreased significantly with
respect to the amount of clothing and other stuff for sale. The last two
times I was there their stock of train items seemed to be dwindling. They
were not stocking either the straight or curved track. Also, the play area
also needs some attention. There are a lot of broken bits and I am
constantly amazed how few wheels there are. They must have a fair amount of
theft as well as when I was there in mid-march there were lots and lots of
slopes and enough windows to build a house. I found no less than a dozen
red low slope corners that I would have loved to have. When I was back
there two weeks ago there was not a window or low slope corner to be found.
