I suspect that the numbers on the garbage cans (i'm assuming these are
the ones at the rideau center?) tell the weight of the contents, but I
dont know why that would justify the cost. I think they talk too :) They
say something like "thank you for keeping our area clean".
Did you visit PlayValue while you were here? A lot of their lego is
perpetually on sale (DDKs for $50, MS expansions sets $10 off).
Btw, are you saying that the Toronto Lego Group is greater? Or are you
saying that Toronto is greater than Ottawa? :)
