xccj Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mini Lego store set looks awesome. I know this is nitpicking, but it does bug me that the actual doors, while nice in detail, don't actually open? How are mini Lego people supposed to get into the store! (And yes, I know it's too small for minifigs, but maybe micro-figs from the game sets...)Also, this is the first I've heard of the Seattle store. (Which is actually located in a suburb that's even further from DT Seattle than the current Bellevue store... oh well.) Good to see more Lego stores popping up tho.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) A Lego store set that can only be acquired in a Lego store that is opening sometime later this year. Interesting.Sadly, none of these new stores will be opening in an area where I live. So I'll probably won't be getting the set. Oh well.

CHTrilogy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Doog! When are they going to open some in the UK?! Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Doog! When are they going to open some in the UK?!There are seven stores in UK, their locations being Bluewater, Brighton, Cardiff, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Westfield London and Westfield Stratford.This set is purely delicious, albeit a little small. It´s just a pity there is already a store where I live so I won´t get the chance to acquire this set. -Gata Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Terminus Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 That's a pretty cool set, although I most likely won't be able to get it, as there's a closer Lego store about half the distance away. Really like the idea, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-D-D-Ddude Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 They need a piece in the set that's shaped like a miniature version of the set. Double setception!

AZBlue Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yay, a LEGO store in the next city northwest from where I live! Ever since that American Girl store that my sister loves opened at OPMall, I've known that there was going to eventually be a Lego store too. I am beyond excited for it!

Cederak Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A Lego store within a Lego store. Despite being, as the news story put it, meta, I couldn't help but think of Inception.

Lyichir Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Great looking set. I'm currently working on a minifig-scale modular version of this set on LDD (it's easy to make minifig scale just by doubling its size). But I wouldn't be surprised if some other LEGO fan beats me to it!And it'll be hard to get to most of these store openings, but that's what I get for already living in an area with a number of nearby LEGO stores. Doesn't mean we won't try, though! Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valendale Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm planning to go to Alphereta and pick up up this set, whenever they open. It's a little bit farther than Discovery Mills, but I'm willing to the extra distance for this and whatever else they may have going on for the opening.
