Pick-a-brick walls
Two questions for the forum hive mind:
1) Is there any reliable site for finding out what particular Lego stores have on their pick-a-brick walls? I've found a few outdated lists and videos but could do with knowing what Bluewater currently have if anybody knows.
2) Does it break your heart when you see people not stacking properly? A couple of months back, my eldest and I were carefully picking out unusual elements (leaves, windows, candlesticks etc) and tessellating them like the world's best Tetris game, then filling every last available space with 1x1 tiles. Meanwhile, my youngest was merrily shoving bog-standard 2x4 bricks and 6x6 plates in his box, and came away with probably a fiver's worth of elements. I could have cried!

The small flames seemed to come in two slightly different shades of trans orange, and there were a few some bigger flames mixed in amongst them.
Because I'm strange like that, I put our purchases into an Excel sheet, in case you find this useful! Keep in mind that this is only the Bluewater store in Kent, as of Saturday 14th April; check before travelling if there's a specific part you need.
