Re: WTB/LF: LOTS of Stormtrooper minifigs

Well met, fellow Revscene member. :) I think I have 8-10 old school stormtrooper minifigs with the yellow head, in brand new condition. They look like: http://img.bricklink.com/M/sw036.gif Only problem is that I have to dig them out of storage from my parents' place, which won't happen until Tuesday...

Ads of the World - LEGO

Most if not all of these ads are brilliant! I think my favourites are the outdoor ones in Malaysia where they built a mosaic into a bus-shelter type sign!

LEGO's entry in the Oakridge Centre directory says "West Galleria". In the West Galleria, there is a "temporary" toy store (beside Stuart Weitzman I believe) named "Go! Toys & Games". That looks like a viable location for the LEGO store. My wife was in the Benetton store and overheard the manager s...

Now we just need t figure out the opening date. Couldn't help but notice that there is not even a "coming soon to Vancouver" in the last catalogue in the stores section. Just Calgary and. TORONTO. .. Although no exact date is given, the Oakridge website listing fro LEGO says 'Spring 2012'. http://w...

I find that the Portland store has more stock - probably cuz it simply doesn't see as many Canadian customers. Don't forget - they don't have any sales t...
