On the weekend, I went combing through the local toystores looking for useful
bits and pieces. I found a 3d puzzle entitled Metropolis, a stacking
cityscape. The puzzle, which some may find interesting in itself, is
essentially a series of modular buildings which can be arranged in a number of
ways. As an added bonus, the buildings look damn good with Dirtside. They're a
touch on the small side (depending on what figures you're using, exactly), but
they look great.

My puzzle cost me $14 Canadian, which I believe is less than 50 cents in the
US.

There's a diagram of the puzzle itself right here, with a convenient store
locator:

In case you're ever in Vancouver (Brian), I bought it at the Toybox, 3002 West
Broadway.

Wow, I knew the exchange rate was good [for the Americans], but I didn't
realize it was THAT much!  ;-)

Sorry, but I think you'll find it's the Canadian prices that are going up, not
the US prices going down:-)
