Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
Loving the t-shirt from the Vancouver store. I think it fits well with Vancouver or BC in general. The minifigure set is not that exciting though. So I'll probably get 1 of each free item with the exception of the Mini LEGO Store model. Going to get 2 of that since it is so cool.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
I am going to go saturday and try to get a Lego Store Set. I'm going to try and get there a couple hours early since i've never been to a grand opening before and i don't know what the lines will be like.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
This isn't an iPad release. There won't be lines. I'd just show up when the mall opens and get some rest.jal4u2c wrote:I am going to go saturday and try to get a Lego Store Set.

Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
^^Really? The two store openings I have been to have been 10x worse than an ipad launch. The whole mall at the indy store seemed to be taken over by the line. I got to the indy store about 1 hour before open and had to be 150-200 people deep in line. I do not want to scare everybody into getting there hours early...but I would clearly disagree with the "no lines" comment above.

Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
Quick question: is it possible to still buy the Lego Store set on Friday or Sunday of the grand opening?
I just realized I planned an event on May 12 that will take me in the opposite direction of the Wauwatosa Mall.

Friday is probably out of the question. Getting it Sunday probably depends largely on whether they have any left after Saturday.

Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
Well this is good info to know. My son and I are going to be in Nashville for the opening, so it's good to know that we need to get there a couple hours early.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
I didnt go to the store opening at the Sherway gardens to get anything... (kicks myself). Though I did
get to "help build" R2D2.
I DID go to the store opening at the Fairview Mall (Toronto) store opening to get the
minifig set, and the lines were CRAZY. We got to the mall 30 minutes after the mall open, and
were BARELY able to get the minifig set they were giving away. They were building Yoda.

Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
It really depends on the location. The Rockefeller Center store opening was insane. The entire promenade was filled with people lined up to help build the apple and/or enter the store. The Roosevelt Field Long Island store opening was less crowded, but still ended up with a great turn-out. I felt silly waiting second in line for about an hour and a half before #3 showed up, but then the line quickly grew from there. By the time the doors opened, I had made my purchases, and left, the line went past the block of stores (to the right, if you were looking at the entrance from outside) and around the corner past a few more stores.mah4546 wrote:This isn't an iPad release.

So, it varies. To say "there won't be lines" is a gross overgeneralization.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
I'm going to be taking my 4 years old son on the 28th to the Victor N.Y. opening. I hoping that the lines aren't going to be bad, because it happens to be the same day as his b-day and we have a 2.5 hour drive back home for his party.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
I think I may go to the store on Saturday at 9:30pm. Hopefully, I can still get the store set. :)
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
The Milwaukee store reads May 1-13 and should be May 11-13.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
The Milwaukee/Wauwatosa Mayfair Mall store had their soft opening today. That's probably a good thing because I think the staff need a few weeks to learn the ropes now that they are done stocking the store and getting it set up. Overall they were very friendly, but I knew more about LEGO store events and LEGO Customer Service than they did. Since it's their first day I'll cut them some slack.
Having only been to the Mall of America store, I was shocked with how small the store is. The pick-a-brick wall was also lacking, mostly 2x4 in various colors. The build-a-minifig section had parts for the surfer, figure skater, mad scientist, musketeer... but not their accessories (only cups, walkie-talkies, axes, binoculars, handcuffs...).
I had a fun night, and I'll definitely being going back often (at least until they open a store in Appleton).

Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
I agree, the Mayfair store was smaller than I expected, but they use the space well. I think it's similar in size to the store North of Chicago. The Schaumburg store is similar to the photos Ice posted.
Still, they use the space very well. It did not feel crowded at all. In the Schaumburg store I felt like there was no space to move at all.
We went over to the Mayfair store earlier today, and I wrote a review of our visit. I'm looking forward to many more visits. At least until we get one locally :fingers crossed:

Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
Can anyone tell me where the Lego store is located in Nashville, TN? Bass Pro end, Cinema end, middle, etc. Opry Mills is a huge place. Just wanting to be prepared when I get in town tonight. I believe it is suite 416 but it isn't listed on the map I found online.
Re: LEGO Store Grand Opening Celebrations (TN, NY, BC, WI)
Good luck to those of you going to Nashville or NY this weekend. May the short-line gods be with you!
