Thomas can't contain himself and flies up the elevator, leaving me in his dust.
There it is! EEEE!
We're not even in the store yet and are overwhelmed at the sheer awesomeness of it all. Giant Lego rats! It doesn't get any better than this!
Or maybe it does! A wall of pick-a-brick! The idea is that you grab a tub and pack in as many loose bits as you can, and pay per tub instead of by the piece (which is how it works at the web site). Thomas filled a big tub up with seaweed and other essential but rare Lego pieces. My tip: give the tub a good couple of shakes to settle the pieces down and pack in the spaces with the little clear pieces. I got a few hundred more pieces in doing that.
Where to begin? It's all too much.
Thomas decided that he would like the job of deciding which bricks are pick-a-bricks of the day. Is this his career destiny?

What a FEAST.

Reminds me of the original pick 'n mix, which is a Woolworths idea: like the Lego, a giant wall of sweets in plastic thingies with a shovel and a large or a small box to put them in. Simon is quite right, you have to shake them down. Last time I did it the woman at the cash till shook her head and pointed out that an expert could get FAR more in, and showed me how. My favourable feelings about the Woolworths brand rocketed. Some weeks later they went bankrupt. Ah well
