I cannot purchase from Pitsco. That is a certainty. Pitsco does not
sell to areas which have regional educational suppliers, and I am
located in Western Canada, where the supplier for the educational
division of LEGO is Spectrum Education.
The last time I spoke to them about purchasing from them (about 2 years
ago now), they said that they were an educational supplier, not a toy
store. Call it "once bitten twice shy" if you will, but suffice to say
I'm not particularly keen on calling them again to see if they've
changed their tune.
