Bricklink Seller Review - The Brickshop

It's been a while but I'm buying again.  And of course I should!  Bricks Cascade 2015 is right around the corner.  What better time to build then at the last minute!  This year I have upped my participation factor by volunteering as the Micro scale theme coordinator.  Last year there was one measly trophy.  This year it's going to ROCK!  I'm especially thrilled with having a Modulex category for the first time.  It would have been more exciting had LEGO Juris not bought out and shut down the up and coming re-release of the Modulex Bricks.  Regardless, the category stands and the trophy will obviously be made out of Modulex pieces.  Naturally, I had to find a seller with a large selection of the tiny brick.
