OK, this is serious.

without going into all the BS i went trough I need to do a C$ board roll
call.

1. do you plan on entering a C$ robot?
2. do you NOW own a board?
3. where did you buy it and when?

these are some of the "issues"

as far as I know there are now 3 types of connect four game boards.

1.  Toys-r-us OLD style.  (blue legs, yellow board INTERLOCK chips)

(this is no longer stocked at TRU, but was the style that we bought when
we all bought one that day)

2.  Walmart Old Style. (blue legs, yellow board, SMOOTH chips, )

3. Toys-R-us NEW style (blue legs, blue board, yellow, red chip)

this last one is what scares me.  from the pic on the box,   it looks
like a different size all together. as well as having a different chip
colour.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

reply to this message and let me know what kind of board you have.

depending on what is common we will standardize on the TRU-OS and find a
way to have people convert other board using lego to raise or lower or
????

!!!!AS WELL!!!!!

TRU dufferin mall has 3 left of the Old style.  they are on the shelf
with the "regular" games; and not to be confused  with the center aisle
display of new style games.  this makes me feel we can standardize on
the TRS OS and people will still be able to find them.

This is an image of how to center your board in the stud size. (34x22)
