Benjamin Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I know that most of the people on eurobricks are not from PERTH, AUSTRALIA but I really NEED a lego store right here in WA. If i don't get one soon I will problem DIE!! So Wonderful people of TLC PLEASE, PLEASE bring a lego store to Perth!! Quote
fujikuro Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Wow, one in Columbus Ohio! Sweet! Next time I'm down there I'll have to stop in. Quote
browniedjhs Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 its official i can predict the future...or i am an amazing planner.... I live in columbus and every time I go to Easton I walk around i say to myself...or anyone that will listen " why doesn't lego put a store here...." Easton was designed by guys who worked on Down town Disney, it definitely has that vibe even thought it is central Ohio. There really are no toy stores there they will make a killing...from me and other people might help too. I hope it is a good sized store and really hope it opens within the year. PAB here I come!!! this just made my week. Thank you so so so so much lego. I used to have to go to Chicago to get my fix. br()wnie Quote

JCC1004 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Kenwood Towne Center, Cincinnati, OH Yeah!!!!! It's only a ten minute drive from where I live! Edited May 9, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
Erdbeereis Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Well, the ones in the U.S. aren't great for me, but the Frankfurt store is very good news! I have to fly through there every year I'll I should be able to get there in September. It's always good to have more stores in the U.S. anyway though in case you ever need to be in the area. Quote
Shadows Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 As an open offer... anyone who happens to get to a new store opening and picks up the "exclusive" set (not so much the t-shirt, but you never know), get two, then PM me and we'll make a deal for the spare one. Seriously. Quote
brickfreak99 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 This is getting out of hand now. Australia needs a Lego store. And fast. Please Lego, anywhere will do...(preferably Melbourne ) Quote

PAB here I come!!! this just made my week. Thank you so so so so much lego. I used to have to go to Chicago to get my fix. br()wnie I hear you!!! The same here (as regards the Frankfurt store). I've been saying for the past two years or so that I really didn't understand why there was no store in Frankfurt, especially if you consider that you only have the one in Munich (which is south), and then the two in Cologne and Oberhausen which is really, really close to each other, and Hamburg. Nothing inbetween. But finally, there's a store coming to Frankfurt. It's like TLG has bugged my house and overheard me thinking out loud. But I won't complain in this case ...

CaptainBrickBeard Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Finally! I've been waiting for this moment ever since I moved to Dallas over 4 years ago. I'm pretty excited about the new store opening in Frisco TX (which is only 10 minutes away from where I live), but I'm also pretty surprised that Lego is also opening another store at Northpark which is just another 20 or so miles away. So, basically we're getting 2 new stores for the Dallas area. Sorry guys! I know it's rough for those of you who have nothing even remotely close to them. I feel your pain! I'll try to cover all of the opening events in case anyone here is interested. Here are the latest pictures of the new store at Stonebriar Centre. Happy trails...

Dadster Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Hopefully these stores will do well! But what of these "Limited Edition" Sets? (Bucking Bronco, Chessie, etc) Are they real sets, one-time in-store models, or what?! My first thought was that the Bucking Bronco would fit perfectly in with the Farm motif sets... Quote

They appear to be one-time in-store only models: Quote
meschepers Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) I'm very excited at having a LEGO store opening in Oklahoma. I currently live about an hour away from where it will be but in about a year I'll be about 2 hours away. I have never been to a LEGO store as there are none within 10 hours of where I live so I couldn't justify the trip. But, now I'll have one just an hour away and I will be there for the grand opening celebrations. Oh, and regarding the exclusive models: They are offered on Saturday of the Grand Opening. It says that the first 300 people to spend $35 or more will get one of the models. On Sunday they have the same deal but for a t-shirt (in kids sizes) instead of an exclusive model. I am going to be one of those 300 on Saturday to get an exclusive model. Edited May 9, 2009 by meschepers Quote
MaxGoof Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I guess this is nice, but it's really frustrating that they won't open one within 4 hours of Upstate New York... Quote

NewRight Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Its nice to be getting a few stores in Ohio seeing as we don't have any right now. Although why Columbus and Cincinnati. We want them in Cleveland! Quote
djmangunz Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Any information about when the stores in Ohio will open? Quote
The Who Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Well, this is good, since Raleigh, North Carolina is closer than Lawrenceville, Georgia. But still Lego, how desperately we (me) need / want a store on the east coast of South Carolina... Quote
Tyrant Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 The Ohio stores are good news for me. I live in southern Indiana so the closest to me at the moment is Chicago (I believe) and I wasn't going to seriously consider a 6 hour drive to go to one of these stores. The Cincinnati store on the other hand is about a 3 hour drive for me. That makes it a lot more reasonable. I also have relatives in Dayton that I go see every few months, so a side trip isn't out of the question. Echoing the earlier question, does anyone know when this store is supposed to open? Of course a store in either Lousiville or Indianapolis would be even better, for me anyway. Quote
Holodoc Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 You´re getting slow on your old days, my friend. Beat you to it by almost three weeks! (at least about the information about the store in Frankfurt) Quote
strider406 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Yeah!!!!! It's only a ten minute drive from where I live! Finally a Lego Store within reach, its only about a hour drive from me. Quote
Millacol88 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Oh you lucky Americans. How come there are none in Canada? Quote
Yeow Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Hm, I'm only 40 minutes from the one Stonebriar Centre now! Better than the 5 hours from the one in Houston ~.~ Quote
Razzer Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Although these openings are useless to me, I can't complain because more Lego stores is undeniably good news, but we seriously need a Lego shop somewhere in the North of England as there are a couple down South and I can't afford to travel to Brghton every time I want to go to one Also, whatever happened to the Lego discovery/imagination centre that was going to be built in Scarborough, it just disapeared, and it would have been perfect too...
