...Well, I think it might be the only choice we have! They don't take personal
orders (like for the 13,592 2x4 red bricks I need), and they don't want to
release good service packs (like a 20 of girders)... I think a night raid just
might be our only option (we can leave money so it wont be like stealing)...
lets just hope there aren't too many security guards hanging out at 3 am...
