Nah. I'll buy the good bits off BL and buid my own much better buildings

All my standard bricks are sorted by both shape and c...

I can read this one

Yep, just confirming that the light grey is the NEW light bley. Haven't worked out yet what I'm going to do about sorting/storing them, the difference is so darn slight - but noticeable.

If anyone buys these and doesn't want the grey, I'll take it off your hands

Kevin

The dark grey seems to be the new one, but the light grey seems to me to be old grey. Can't see any difference between it and my existing light grey.


No brown, no unusual colors except orange, all bricks, plates and slopes.

Subject says it all... our tiny Powell River walmart has them so I imagine the ones in Vancouver do too. This tub doesn't have the bonus weird pieces that the ones in the US had, but it's a very good deal on basic bricks all the same.

Here's a barn to go with the farmhouse. I set them up with a little farm scene on my veggie stall at the local Fall Fair a few weeks ago and they were a big hit.

As Robin mentioned, I'm in Powell River. I sometimes pass through Courtenay/Comox on my way down to Victoria, but it sounds like you're pretty much out in the wilds If you ever get over to PR let me know.

Stores like this exist, but not in Vancouver.

Online, you can try Bricklink (www.bricklink.com)

In various places in the US and Europe, there are stores which have "pick-a-brick": this LUGNET search has references to many of them:
