justgod Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Today, for the first time, I got to see LEGO products at an actual LEGO store! I have always bought at other retailers due to the proximity of the store. The wife agreed to make a road trip with me today. I had no idea that everything was supposed to be that organized and in stock. She pointed out that her favorite set was the VW bus. I told her that if I could ever actually part with the monetary resale side of things, that was the set I wanted to build. SOLD! She is so incredible ( that and she still owed me a birthday present). Manager advised me that they will have the Cinema in store on the 14th for purchase by VIP members. Some other things he mentioned (as if he really knows, lol): FB will be the next modular to go GE will be the second modular to go All Monster Fighters are staying as he just received a new Planogram with them listed I love this store and cannot wait for my first "build" in over two years, LEGO rocks!!

Teeird Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Rather misleading title, but ok. I'm glad to see some actual info on these sets, if they were true that is. Nice to see you got to go to a legit lego store! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about this information, not doubting you justgod, but the store manager.They never know anything about the discontinuing of their products.I'll bet that Lego purposely keeps them in the dark about that. Don't want to give it away!; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I remember when I was 16, oh wait, we're not talking about that. Man, I wish I was near a Lego store, I would stop by every now and then just to see stuff in person and stand there in awe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are implanted into the wall and look super awesome, especially with the lights!Idea! What do they do with the Legos when they are done displaying? Anyone ever ask about this? It seems to me that the TLG doesn't glue their pieces together, so we could resell them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to give it away!; )I have no doubt that he was merely speculating. When asked about a timeline, he didn't know (of course). He was cool enough to say that I could call anytime and ask what clearance sets they had. I remember when I was 16, oh wait, we're not talking about that. Man, I wish I was near a Lego store, I would stop by every now and then just to see stuff in person and stand there in awe.It wasn't a big store, but I must have walked it at least 5 times. I love all the light up displays as CB said and finally getting to see the Pick-a-Brick wall. Was great to see all the future AFOLs walking around all excited. With all the people that were there during my hour, the one thing I noticed is that I never saw anyone looking at the friends sets, which I thought was weird.

pickleboy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That is weird. Friends LEGO line won two awards at this years Toy Fair (Winners were just awarded this weekend.) They won "Toy of the Year" which is the grand daddy of toy awards and then they won the girls toy that "girls of any age" can play with.

pickleboy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Lego actually won three total awards. They were the only company to do so. The architecture line won specialty toy of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I went to a Lego Store for the first time today. The employees were friendly, and the displays were great, especially the B-Wing. I had no idea how massive it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
