| - If you're into Legos, this is the place to be. I have never ventured into a Lego store before, mostly because I have never seen one.
I have to admit, I was surprised to see their selection and prices. They had a huge selection of complete lego kits. I saw a NASA space shuttle and some battery operated robotic Legos. The prices, well, they were high. I didn't realize Legos had commanded such a price. For example, a Star Wars Lego ship cost in the neighborhood of $400! You could get a pirate ship for around $200. Even a small kit was in the $100 range. Wow!
I guess when you're buying one of these kits, you're probably in your 30's and it's not for a kid. The kits are really detailed and have tons of pieces. If you don't want a kit, you can buy individual pieces of almost any color.
I didn't realize the extent to which people take pains to get the colors right in their legos. For example, if you want to make a building, you might want a more textured color. Well, if they don't sell textured legos, you have to modify your own legos. Some ways of modifying them include sanding the sides (to give texture) and dying the legos to get just the right color. That's extreme!
Anyway, if you're a Lego fanatic, you probably already know about this store.
