Oregon is actually pretty far from Las Vegas, NV. The closest ones are in either Arizona or in Southern California. I plan to visit one someday and just stock up on pick a bricks...

That sucks, but at the same time makes sense since they are a business trying to make money. The TRU near my house doesn't stock up on the Collectible minifigures. I wish they did though I would have a ton by now...

Unfortunately, aside from the usual Target/TRU stores, the only way to get good deals for Legos is through classifieds like Craigslist.

I'll keep an eye out on the ones near me which are the Smith's Grocery stores. Thanks for the heads up. =)

Hi there Eurobricks! Just wanted to say that I'm glad to see I'm not the only one returning to my favorite childhood playthings at an older age. While my brothers played video games as children, I was always in the background tinkering with my Lego sets. Although those are long lost, I've recently started buying up sets again. =) All thanks to a recent visit to my cousin who used to tinker around with them as well. It mostly started off with random purchases of the impulse sets (ha, now I get why they're so aptly named), but I just recently found some major deals on sets off Craigs List and boy am I in heaven (The Toy Story 7596 set is only $25 and the Star Wars Midi Destroyer 8099 was only $15 at Walmart). 2011 will surely be a great and happy year. Since this is my first venture into Lego as an adult, I'm finding more and more ways to enjoy the brand. This is my first time using LDD, and I think I'll have much more fun now that I don't need the actual bricks until the designs are completed. =) I'm currently digitally designing a Festival Stage (still incomplete), but since I got the new Toy Story sets with supports that look like stage trussing, I think I'll be redoing it all over: http://lesager.net/LDDScreenShot5.png - Larger than 800x600. Well, I look forward to contributing more to this community. I just wish there were some LUGs or a Lego Store in Las Vegas... =(
