Lego Brand Retail

Legos have changed since I was a kid (what hasn’t?). We wanted to buy our 6 year old niece some Legos for Christmas. My husband, a Lego fan in childhood, was enthralled by the new developments. I was slightly annoyed. Everything comes in ultra-​expensive sets now with one thing to make. We aren’t letting our kids explore their imaginations! We had bricks, and the green sheet, and we built houses, parks, streets … but now I sound old.
It’s a cool store, prices are comparable, even cheaper than some other retail outlets (according to my mother-​in-​law) and service was friendly.

I really wish this lego store was bigger. If you are claustrophobic do not enter” it’s filled with a ton of unmonitored kids in a tight space. Going in the middle of the day is optimal. Peek times and it’s Walmart during the Sunday shopping rush. They could use more events as well. My son does not even like going because it’s boring.

The staff here are always bountiful (in numbers) and nice and patient! They seem to always greet every customer that walks into their store. (I think its their store goal or something which is great!) They kindly and enthusiastically ask is there any particular lego you are looking for today? (My answer’s almost always no) and they gently back away. Also, they never ever seem to be one bit irritated or annoyed when my 5 year old start asking questions or carry a long conversation with one of them about legos.
Their number of products aren’t extravegant but always seem to be well-​stocked. Prices are, well, it’s Lego– what do you expect? Walmart and Target have little bit better pricing but I think you earn points when you sign up for their VIP card (free).

This wasn’t as large as I thought it would be, but they had a great selection of kits and individual pieces. We began snapping pictures of things the kids liked as suggestions for future Christmas and birthday presents from family. The kids loved that you could build Lego people for relatively little.

Let me admit, I am a HUGE Lego geek and now my kids are too! We have frequented this store many times since it opened, and it does get super crazy busy on weekends. That being said, we have always been able to get assistance — the people working there really know their product and clientele.
Some tips:
(1) If you regularly buy Lego, join the VIP Club (free) and earn points for discounts, special builds, etc.
(2) Sign your kids up for the Lego Club. They have at least monthly builds — where they mix kids up by age and have them work on a project together. My boys love it and the cost is nominal (includes shirt and small Lego set).
