I'm sooo sad.
soooo sad that I decided to go on a boat cruise on the river. That
was tres cool.
Though a lock that only drops you, like 60cm, is kind of odd.
Thanks to the continued performance of the Canadian loonie, I can
safely report that, as of this time, there is no financial advantage
to buying technic sets in the states. No sir-ee.
And while the Chicago store
http://www.lego.com/legostores/location.asp?x=x&store=Chicago,%20IL,%20USA&cCode=3
has a georgeous model of Michigan avenue and a lot of nice displays,
the pick-a-brick was severly limited (from my perspective).
But if anyone in rtltoronto wants me to pick up 2x2 bricks in trans
red, green, or blue, or steering wheels
(http://peeron.com/inv/parts/30663) or white picket fences
(http://peeron.com/inv/parts/33303) or 1x2 grill tiles in bley
(http://peeron.com/inv/parts/2412a) then let me know and I can grab a
cup for you tomorrow before I leave.
But not even a gear pack....or a motor set....or a single technic beam
in the PAB there...but there were two "vintage" RIS 2.0 sets for the
full MSRP of $199USD that looks like they had been purchased and
returned about 6 times each, or had been kicked around a storeroom for
years. The boxes were actually sun-faded!

$1.25 before I left Canada and still had in my pocket...)
