Lego Store Display


Pomegranate

1,294 views

Hey, so, I haven't been very active at all in the last couple weeks; in case like two or three of you missed me, I've just had a very busy semester is all.

 

Last week I passed by my local Lego Store and noticed that they had really big new displays for Bionicle 2015 up (before it was limited to the regular tiny shelf space like every other theme) so I stopped by today to snap pictures of 'em, and finally pick up a Protector and a Hero Pack.

 

The displays were really quite large, and right as I was passing by one some businessman in a big pack of businessmen loitering in front of the Bionicle display (or maybe it was ust a breeze) knocked over the big Mask of Creation and I was there to catch it. Now, I'm not saying I saved Bionicle, but... I saved Bionicle. You're welcome, everyone :P

There was also a parts bin behind the second display and I think a little thing laid out for the target-shooting activity, but I wasn't paying attention.

I also noticed this on the calendar they stuck in my bag. It's so dinky, I love it. I will definitely drag my little brother over there to get us a poster :P Does anyone know anything about this yet other than what's in the ad?

I was just at my local Lego store the other day and saw the same display. It's a big improvement from when I visited a store last month, and the entire winter 2015 Bionicle lineup was packed into a small display cubby that was not designed to accommodate that number of sets.

 

The solitary parts bin made me nostalgic for the Lego store event after NYCC last year. It's impossible to overstate how incredibly awesome it is to be let into the store after-hours, and be greeted by bins upon bins of free parts which will not be available to the general public for months! A single parts bin full of parts that are solely the property of the store itself is comparatively underwhelming (I miss when CCBS parts were briefly available through Pick-a-brick), but hopefully it'll help kids visiting the store to experience the Bionicle building system for the first time, and hopefully be inspired to buy one or more of the sets.

 

I don't know anything about that event other than the fact that Lego store events are typically aimed at young kids—be prepared to be one of the oldest people there if you do end up attending.

Oh yeah,  definitely a kiddie event, doesn't sound like any building will even be involved. My brother is really young, pretty sure he's just the age range they're looking for.
