I was in Schaumburg (Chicago) today for work and had a some time before my flight so I stopped off at Woodfield Mall LEGO Store to see if they had anything new or interesting.

(...) As advised elsewhere, the answer is "no", UNLESS.... you do as I am going to do. My next Big Thing® is going to be creating 12 wide LEGO trains that utilize G scale track, trucks, couplers, and motors. I will run them outdoors (but won't leave (...)
