Default Batman Lego ... where to buy in Calgary?

You guys always come through ... anyone see this around, main stores seem to be sold out. Anyone know of a hobby store, or off the beaten path store where I can find it?

I was at Toys R Us on Macleod Tr./Willowpark Dr. last Friday reliving my youth vicariously through the 9 year old I was babysitting. They had a ton of Batman lego, of which I remarked that it was way cooler than the Lego I had back in the day. They had a lot... I would assume they still do.

There's a good hobby shop in Southcentre Mall called Great White. It looks like a nerd's basement. Try there.

Winners I believe
(saw some at Westhills a while ago)

my son had entered a door prize at a lego building contest which would have involved him winning the biggest box of Batman Lego ever seen. he basically sat there stalking the ticket lady all afternoon....but we lost. although the kid who won had the same name as our guys

Its there, I just bought a bunch of stuff for my nephews.

Last year I bought them a Lego Star Destroyer with about 35000 pieces, they're still working on it, but that thing is damn awesome.

Man I don't live in Calgary anymore but about 4-5 years ago Cjay used to play a damn funny clip involving Batman.
I can't hear the name anymore without thinking about his clip!
Damn you Cjay!

Batman Lego?

Hold on...let me check my utility belt....

Nada, sorry.

I like how you rationalized asking the largest available conglomeration of nerds though. Nice touch.....

You could also check Gracy & Gruff on McLeod & 90th(?), or Discovery Hut in Chinook.

$500 for Lego? Jesus.
I know a guy that's big into the Star Wars Lego too. Every day he gets a new shipment of toys at work. Rare, hard to find, valuable.....yada, yada, yada. Whatever, it's Lego for Children.
