Silburned Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I recently moved back to the lovely Pacific Northwest from the Bay Area. I am a little annoyed that there is one Lego store within a reasonable distance from me. I had three in the Bay Area that were easily accessible, depending on traffic. I guess it makes sense. Other than Portland and Seattle area where would Lego want to put one? It could be worse. I could be in MT, WY, ND, SD. Looks like a Lego no mans land out there. Any other members in the area feel the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 There is only one in Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Not worth the 90 minute drive from where I live. Any time I am in town for various reasons (which is not often) I try to make a point to stop and check things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 There is only one Lego store where I live, so it's not that bad, but the nearest store after this one is about four hours away, in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafrog Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 We're definitely spoiled in the Bay Area - I live in the central valley, so I have four in easy enough driving distance, between the three to the west and Sacramento to the north.

Migration Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Y'all are spoiled. The closest one to me is 4-5 hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Having one is very nice. There are only two in our whole state (NC) Why do you need more than one anyways? If lego stores were everywhere it would not be special. Just another target or walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxofcorey Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Try living in the middle east. I feel like the nearest LEGO store would be a small worry there, relatively speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold-Arrow Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 we are blessed with the one store in the entire state over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseace Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 In West Texas we have the luxury of our Lego Stores only being 5.5-6 hours away (Dallas/Ft. Worth Area or Albuquerque and Santa Fe). I feel the pain of not having much available. I seem to find a lot of my deals online, TRU, Target and Walmart... but I would love to have one Lego store closer. 1.5-2 hours away would be worth a family excursion every once in a while, but 5+ hours is a bit much to rationalize for Lego (TVM).

Ted Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 You guys are spolit. We don't even have one in western australia. The lego stores in australia are all in the eastern states.....not to mention the crazy prices when compared to the states.

redeemed763 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think the best thing is having access to one of the big three stores, Chicago, NYC and LA all have a whole different scope of store, I could care less about having 5 different stores nearby.

Silburned Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Try living in the middle east. Touche If possible I buy at a Lego store over box stores (unless better sales are going on elsewhere). A Lego store always makes you feel good. The bright lights and displays cry out to you to buy stuff. Plus the Pick-a-brick wall always has something to stock up on or elements to resell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxgc53 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 There is one about 5 minutes from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Not really...I am in PNW, but two are within 40 minutes and three are within 2.5 hours (not during rush hour!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
