Trade New 10222 for Used 10251

So, I was lucky enough to win a sealed 10222 - Winter Village Post Office - in the Child's Play draw at BrickCon. Sweet! I already have this set, but I recently discovered that I never bought a 10251 - Brick Bank Modular (I have all the rest). I'd be willing to swap my new 10222 for your used, but (...

Which is why we like it when Jamie designs these sets!! :lol: (He wasn't the designer for the Fire Brigade)

Re: 10243 Parisian Restaurant

Interiors are brilliant. It's fully detailed. Also a full complement of Olive Green 1x brick, new 1x2 and 2x2 bowed slopes (in white and dark blue), a red scooter, white croissants, and much more. A fantastic return to the modulars by Jamie Berard (the set designer, who is back after being involved ...

Re: Racing Devil Toys - Display Opportunities

The store doesn't sell bulk brick. But there is a decent stock and selection of sets, and minifigs. I got my complete set of series 11 from there a couple of weeks ago. What the owner (Carleton) does have, is large display cases where your MOCs could be displayed, if you'd like to have some of your ...

Racing Devil Toys - Display Opportunities

Hi all, I've done some stuff with Carleton, of Racing Devil toys in Richmond. He's got a cool little store in Aberdeen mall, runs building contests for kids in Richmond, has quite a bit of brick (at decent prices!), and is a LEGO fan himself. He's built things and displays them in the big (secure) d...

Re: Jobs at new Guildford LEGO store

I wasn't sure where to put it. I'll leave it to you guys to move the post (or repost the info) wherever you see fit. It's on LEGO's job site, as well as on Craigslist even, I believe.

Anyone gonna go? ;-)

Re: ToysRUs Concept "Smart Store" Opening in North Vancouver

This is a new concept Toys-R-Us store, called "WonderLab". Basically, it's kind of like each major brand has a "mini" store or section within the overall store. LEGO has a nice section there. I don't know how the selection will compare to a "normal" TRU, but the idea is intriguing. The store has a n...

Re: Alderwood Store Anniversary Event

It's just the details of the actual build (which Master Builder is coming, and what they're building) that are not quite finalized, not the fact that the event is happening. So, it's not a big secret or anything.

Re: Aberdeen Mall - LEGO Hong Kong

Hi guys, I'll be building onsite until at least Saturday, the 14th (I have another event on the 15th). I suspect I will not be finished by then, so I'll be back on the 16th. If I'm still not done, I'll be building the rest back in my workshop, and bringing the completed items in for display. The com...

Re: Aberdeen Mall - LEGO Hong Kong

Good to see you today, Bryan! I'm really good with people wanting to buy my stuff, but in those cases, I build them for that purpose. These creations are built to show once or twice, and then be dismantled. They are not bomb-proof, and they're not glued. If I were to sell them, I would redo parts of...

Ya, parking is a pain. Just keep climbing the parkade. The higher you go, the less cars. I do have one all-day pass for someone, and yes, the spot is up on top in the sunshine (P5). That level is all reserved parking. Of course, it's 3 hour free parking in the main parkade - if you can find a spot. ...
