is as cool as it looks.
Lego has been selling very well, especially compared to other toys. The
larger Toys'R'Uses have been doubling their shelf space for Lego (albeit,
not increasing the selection, just the quantities).
The prices on online Pick-a-Brick have come down.
There's lots of cool stuff in Pick-a-Brick at the Lego store.
The Lego store is reported to have a new manager (Steve?).
BrickCon 2009 is October 1--4 at Seattle Center. Registration is now

Register. This year's theme is Imagination in Motion. Some new building
themes for this year are battlebugs and Operation Bricklord. It would be
nice to revitalize the Great Ball Contraption.
Mythbusters had a segment on a giant Lego ball.
Gary McIntire is great (but we already knew that).
