| - My favorite store ever. Yes, I love Lego, so I'm biased, but I'll pretend for the moment they sell something that I'm not interested in, because this review isn't for Lego, it's for the store itself.
It's like a candy shop--bright, colorful, organized. Some of the larger models are on display under glass, and there are mixed Lego pieces for kids to play with at little tables. The back wall has individual pieces that you can buy by the cup--lots of wheels and windows and smaller bricks that get switched out slowly. It's always worth a look to see what's new there. In the middle of the store there's a tower full of minifigure parts where you can build your own, which is surprisingly fun.
As for selection, they've never been out of a set I wanted except when it was going out of production. And the staff is very helpful. They're always happy to do a little research to help me when I have a difficult question. Plus, if you're a VIP member or spend a certain amount, they almost always have little freebie sets or figures.
Overall, it's a great store. It would have been easy for them to throw together something looking like a regular toy store, but instead The Lego Store has a classier, boutique feel that makes it a pleasant experience for adults as well as children. For children in adult bodies, it's perfect.
