So it has been a long time since I have bought an actual set. Long time member, and I have built up quite a collection, and I mostly MOC. But there is a set I want to actually buy! So fairly excited. Reason for this post is that I don't know anymore the best time to buy. WHen 2x or 3x points are given, or when the best time for bonus sets is. Thoughts?

I am considering buying the new Downtown Diner set from the online Lego store but want to wait until the 28th January so that I will qualify to receive the free 60th Anniversary set 40290. This will be the first set I've ordered from Lego as a VIP member so I should also receive the free VIP minifig keyring that they send out with first orders. On top of this I was also hoping to buy a Lego City set at the same time which should mean I'll get the free City Hot dog vendor polybag as well. My question is ... does anyone know if offers like this can be combined in a single transaction from the Lego store? WIll I still receive all 3 free gifts or would I only qualify for one of them? Not sure if multiple special offers can be combined or not.

Hello and welcome to The LEGO Store at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota! This happens to be my local LEGO Store and one of my favorite stores in the Mall of America. I have not seen anyone try to build this yet so I thought I'd try to be the first, and I think I did a pretty good job! I wanna apologize in advance for my really bad choice of background color.. didn't occur to me until typing this up how bad it hurts my eyes, ouch. This project has been in the works for "2 years" - I started a thread when I originally started working on this, which you can view here. Back then I had an album full of photos from a trip to the store I used for reference. Since then the store has changed a lot, and the store still changes every now and then, so this might be a little inaccurate to the current state of the shop. This is my biggest MOC I've ever built! This giant model contains about 5,300 pieces and 8 minifigures. With plenty of giant models to see and sets on the shelves, this is a must-visit. The exterior has long white walls that all have the LEGO logo, along with some windows to display models of both official sets and MOCs from the local LEGO community. There are two giant LEGO murals on the left side. Of course, on top is The LEGO Hall of Heroes, which feature a dangerous duel between a sabretooth tiger and a warrior, a battle between a minotaur and a Greek soldier, a medieval king riding his horse, explorers researching the unknown, a task force (no helicopter, unfortunately) and the massive Herobot 9000. Wrapping around the left side is Brickley, the LEGO dragon. Around the back side we have the giant windows you see when going down the escalator, that show D2Cs and above that show the history of the LEGO logo, which I unfortunately could not show on the model. The microbuilds for models like The Disney Castle, The Death Star, and Brick Bank were inspired by our very own KamalMYafi, whose builds I definitely recommend you check out. Up front we have the entrance with sliding doors and a giant LEGO logo. Walking inside and to the left, we have shelves of sets. These ones appear to be LEGO City and D2Cs, such as the Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ. Adjacent to that is more shelves of sets. Past a fire extinguisher is what originally was an empty room with a table which is now another checkout with more sets on shelves. These ones are Nexo Knights, Minecraft, and Ninjago. Also a statue of Olivia from LEGO Friends that has moved around the store every now and then. Past this is the Employees Only area. Nobody is really sure what goes on back there. Moving on, another fire extinguisher and more shelves of LEGO. These appear to be Creator and Star Wars. Next to the exit is the giant Pick-A-Brick wall. I've added in the Pick-A-Model cups and slots. In front of that is the small table that holds the PAB cups, and in the cupboards inside are VIP cards and other things. Then the checkout counters, which haven't had that big of a change since the 2014 build. In front are the rope barriers to form lines. In the actual store there's a small stand that holds keychains, CMF boxes, Mixels, and other non-set items. I tried to make this as small as I could while keeping everything the actual stand holds. Moving onto the right half of the store, is a long, long long row of sets. Somewhere in the first third there is the augmented-reality thing called the Digital Box. Hold up your box to the camera and watch the finished build come to life right in front of you! There are stacks of Friends, Elves, Princesses, DC and Marvel Super Heroes, City, Angry Birds, and DUPLO. At the very end is BIONICLE. In front of BIONICLE is the 2x4 red brick that stands at the corner of the yellow. Scattered around the store are various bins that hold CMF packets, things on clearance, and more. There are also Build-A-Minifig bins. There are 8 fully custom minifigures I designed for this set. From left to right, we have four LEGO Store Employees, three which I have named Chloe, Katie, Matt, and Dan. The other four are a family that include a girl, boy, along with their mother and father. Now it's time to leave the store! That wraps it up for now. This was a very very fun and very very challenging project. I want to thank certain members of this LEGO Store for helping me out and supporting this since the very start, and of course everyone else who has supported. If you wanna see bigger versions of the pictures they're available here in this Flickr album I whipped up. Thank you for looking!

My family was recently going through the basement and discovered this Lego plastic shopping bag. At first it didn't seem interesting, but we don't live near a lego store (Eastern Canada) and this had been stored away for about 30 years. I can't find anything similar online, but I'd like to know more about it. Has anyone ever seen a shopping bag like this before? My best guess is that it came from France in the mid to late 1980's, I recall Santa bringing a lot of Duplo from France one year. If it helps, this logo is on the bottom of the bag. Thanks!

I designed and build this LEGO Store inspired by the largest LEGO Store in the world at Leicester square in London as I thought it was about time to add a LEGO Store to my modular collection of 22. Ground floor: Technic, City and on sale product shelves Tube train photo opportunity with Royal Guard, William Shakespeare and the Queen Tube train with tram driver and Charlie the Conductor Two story high Big Ben with Constable, Detective and Judge Brickley the Dragon Welcoming by Lester Counter with register and Lester polybags 1st floor Friends, Duplo and other product shelves Phone Box photo opportunity Pick and Build wall Play Table Stair case with LEGO Logo history View on the Big Ben and Brickley the Dragon, 2nd floor Overall the modular has been designed to keep the amount of bricks as low as possible through the use of panels and large bricks. The 2nd floor is not a fully utilized floor to keep the brick count below the 3000 maximum. It is designed to have optimal light conditions in the store through the use of more glass and contributes to the already open inside structure of the building. The roof has four studs on it so the store can easily be recognized as a LEGO store on satellite map images :) If the brick count restriction would not apply I imagine the top floor could well be a shop for tea/coffee with cupcakes and a terrace to enjoy. If it reaches 10.000 votes on LEGO Ideas but is not approved by LEGO I will publish a free building instruction and parts list. I have a Studio design and as you can see it can be build in real bricks. So please vote if you like it :) LEGO Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/e015f9c8-3faf-4308-b8ed-b5e09c6ebcef High resolution Flick album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/r53/albums/72157690132930563 A picture overview: Free building instructions, decal sheet and parts list on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-54534/BrickPolis/the-lego-store-leicester-square/

Hello there! I am asking a question about the lego store, so I'm assuming the Buying forum is the right place. A friend of mine is going to be overseas in the USA and I would like him to pick up something at the Lego store. There are no Lego stores here in Australia. I am going to ask if he can pick up some parts from the PaB wall, but other than that I don't know what is available. He's not an AFOL, so I would like it to be relatively easy for him to get, and small in size (to save space in his luggage). Can anyone tell me what is currently available in the Lego stores in the USA? Or perhaps recommend something to get? Is the stock generally the same, or do they vary between stores? Specifically, he is going to the store at the Galleria Mall in Houston, Texas. Did you happen to visit the Houston store recently? Can you tell me what is available? Or do you think I should just contact the store directly? I appreciate any advice you can provide. Thanks in advance. Regards, slopemodified

Hi there, I'd like to know if there is a service/arrangement to have parts from various pick-a-brick walls sent internationally. Given that I live in country with no Lego stores , I feel rather envious of those places that do and have access to such a great Lego service. I doubt that the Lego online store will offer the pick-a-brick in a cup as it doesn't appear to be financially viable, especially if people want more of some pieces over others. I saw it being discussed in the topic here: pab cup online! I don't find the current system on the online store appealing as it was not easy to use, not a great variety in parts and it was expensive (compared to BL anyway). However I'd like to just get a handful/pinch of pieces from all the bins available, or as many of them as possible. I was able to ask a friend who was visiting the US a while ago if he could pack a cup full of random pieces, but it was just a one-off. So is there a way to source random parts from pick-a-brick wall at Lego stores and have them delivered? If not, do you think it is a good idea? Or maybe it'd be too expensive and I'd be better off just continuing to use Bricklink. Cheers.
