Anyone been to Bellevue Pick a Brick lately?

Just curious as to what might be interesting or of note, as I'll only have a brief time to go before a wedding. Thanks.

Do you actually need to have the sticker on the cup to save the 50cents or can you just bring your own (old) cup?

we thought about bringing our own cups but haven't tried it yet . Try it and tell us what happens

Will do. I have one with sticker and two or three without. However, the last time my cousin went down, the selection wasn't all that great filling up only one cup. So it may not even be an issue.

Hi Chump,the last time I went down in mid august,the girl at the desk said you need to have a sticker on the cup prevously to take advantage of the savings.
I thought the selection was good,but it all depends on what your looking for.

Happy hunting,Andrew

It makes sense since it would be hard to tell the difference between picking up a new cup and bringing in a "recycled" cup without the sticker.

I just remember going to the Disney World location and filling up a bunch of cups whereas the one my cousin picked out for me (stating no bricks, just unusual pieces) came back rather uninspired. On the other hand, my niece got a hold of the pieces and made some cool cars out of it. Interesting because the cup had axles but no wheels, so apparently the next best thing for wheels is large translucent pink flowers.

Here's hoping for fresh stock! and Brick Journal!

Yes they were selling brick journal at the counter,which is quite a nice third party idea.

I picked up PAB Lego from Tigard, OR and Bellevue. They do need to scan in the Bar code to save the $.50 or whatever. I reused my PAB cup from OR at Bellevue with the sticker. I was at Bellevue at the end of August and TBH the selection in OR was much better. They had 2x2x2 slopes in black in OR but only had them in red in Bellevue. I'm guessing they were pretty much tapped out at the time.
