Although a German chain, Hornbach, has recently moved into the area with

bag, fill as much stuff in it as you want, note the tub number, go to the
scale and punch that number in (the weight of the plastic bag is set as
Tarra).

It would've been bliss, if only they'd sold Technic that way.

it, ie relatively close? /me sees an opportunity for the next holiday..
