Mini LEGO Store Model Set
Next month during May, there will be four LEGO Brand stores that will be having their grand openings. In addition to their free T-shirts, limited edition minifigure set (3 pack) and events tradition, it appears that they will also be offering an exclusive LEGO model. From the looks of it, it appears to be a mini LEGO Brand Store set! Please note that each promotion are on separate dates (i.e minifigure promotion is not on the same day as the model promotion).
Mini LEGO Store Set
There will be four new stores that will be offering this special exclusive offer. So if you live in one of those areas, your very lucky!
Canada: Vancouver, BC (Celebration runs from May 4-6)
United States: Wauwatosa, WI (Celebration runs from May 11-13)
United States: Woodlands, TX (Celebration runs from May 18-20)

Re: May 2012 LEGO Store Grand Openings - Free Exclusive Mode
The minifigure set is still available. Plus, the celebration runs for 3 days so 3 promos. For example: http://stores.lego.com/en-us/Nashville/LandingPage.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
Didn't know they were opening one in Woodlands, Texas. I'll have to go get me one of those Lego store sets. That'll be 3 stores in the Houston area.
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
Cool, thanks. Orginally, I wasn't planning on going. But now that they're offering the store model, I have to go! Now the lineup.Legobrandon wrote:The minifigure set is still available.

Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
What to buy, what to buy...? The decision is so difficult. I don't want to be spending too much on the first day ($50+) but there is nothing I really like under $50.Ice wrote:Cool, thanks.

Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
It totally didn't register with me that the dates were 3 days, even when I typed it in. That hopefully should spread out the crowd a bit, although I'm sure most folks will go for the model.
Does anyone know how many of the giveaways they typically offered? I know I should go early (and leave the kid at home)...but I'm wondering how early!

Ya, its hard. I don't even want to pay regular price for some old sets that I can get for BOGO right now at Zellers...Legobrandon wrote: What to buy, what to buy...? The decision is so difficult.

I guess I'll just have to suck it up and buy $75 of some Star Wars items to get TC-14 and the model.
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
^ you guys are lucky the Vancouver opening is during the May the 4th promo...kill two birds with one stone...but the line might be brutal!
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
I would happily subsidize someone's second trip through the queue in exchange for one of those models. Maybe not the whole $50, but definitely something.

Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
In previous years, the little advertisement says like max. 300 per store but that is usually just to attract more customers and in reality the max is about 500 per store.atmail35 wrote:It totally didn't register with me that the dates were 3 days, even when I typed it in.

Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
I would feel kind of guilty if I bought an item and "re-lined" up before the rest of the crowd outside could get in. But at the same time I would also like two of the LEGO store set, so I don't know...
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
Any price info on the Lego store?
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
I went to one store opening where I camped the line early, bought enough to qualify, brought it back to my car, went and got in line again. Circling straight back to the register would feel like cheating to me, but I figure if I'm willing to do the extra time in line it's fair enough.Legobrandon wrote:I would feel kind of guilty if I bought an item and "re-lined" up before the rest of the crowd outside could get in.

Should be $35 to get the gift.evo8hks wrote:Any price info on the Lego store?
While Boston doesn't get the Star Wars promo, you do get the Hulk minifigure promo instead. :)atmail35 wrote:^ you guys are lucky the Vancouver opening is during the May the 4th promo...kill two birds with one stone...but the line might be brutal!
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
How long do the lines typically get for these events? I may ask someone to go for me but they're not the sort to stand in line for an hour.

Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
Well it really depends on the population of the city, LEGO fans in the city and how many people actually know about the event. Get there early, that is my opinion.bea wrote:How long do the lines typically get for these events? I may ask someone to go for me but they're not the sort to stand in line for an hour.

I could not think of any SW set that I am so desperate to purchase at CDN MSRP. I doubt if any forum member would re-lined up for this Vancouver event while they understand that they don't have to pay CDN MSRP for a lego set.
Both TC-14 and the lego store mini model are very tempting, and TC-14 is a must. Unfortunately, I really have to think if it is worth to spend the line-up time and make extra damage to my wallet.
Thx for the news.
Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
There are two new store openings in April that are offering the same promotions.
United States: Nashville, TN (Celebration runs from April 27 -29)
United States: Victor, NY (Celebration runs from April 27 -29)
I finally have a store that's only an hour away!

Re: Mini LEGO Store Model Set
Be careful on expecting double promos at these store openings...ie the TC-14 fig AND the daily giveaway. I know when I went to the Indianapolis store opening I was shot down on the free PaB cup over 100 on the calendar and the Free store minifig set...manager let me pick one or the other...since I already packed the cup, I bought the cup and took the set for obv reasons. Now a free fig in a poly doesn;t cause the disturbance in the store that a free PaB cup for everyone during a store opening does. I can only imagine all 500 of those people also waiting to pack a PaB cup...would have been a riot lol...
Don't mean to be a downer, just tempering expectations. Now where is the nearest store opening to me that I can drive to....must get that mini store set.
