I have a Lego store about 45 minutes away from me.
Thereās a Lego Store in the mall at Raleigh (which isnāt too far from where I live) And itās pretty cool. They have these giant displays with what ever sets are current, as well as these giant plastic studs with small pieces in them that you can take as many as you can fit into a cup in there.
just make sure you fill said cup all the way, or else someone at the stores will have to help you and then your parents will get mad at you because his help will cost $50. I learned that from experience.

There is not one near me at all. so RIP.
Well There no LEGO Stores in My state of Louisiana, so I canāt spoke about any LEGO Store experiences.
Thereās only one LEGO store in my state, I live hours away from itā¦
But I have been to the store in New York City at the Rockefeller Center and the one at Disney Springs in Orlando.
I got a Pick-a-Brick order while I was there (New York), and my dad and I were trying to shove as many bricks as we could into the container. He took the lid and tried to squish it down, but it exploded when he did. Then an employee came up and said, āOh! I know that sound!ā It was hilariousā¦
I have some pictures from the Disney one too:
The dragon things at every store.
An amazing Maleficent sculpture.
Pick-a-Brick wall.
Another part of the store.
Poor display Greviousā¦he needed someā¦major readjustmentsā¦

The first Lego store I went to was in Milton Keynes (England) when I was visiting my Aunt.
The second Lego store I went to was in Buchanan Galleries, which is the first (and only) Lego store in Scotland.
I just realised that I talk about Scotland a lot, probably becauseā¦ Reasons

Not at a Lego store, but I love watching kids get Bionicle or Hero Factory, I have floated around, trying to decide what to get, and parents have asked me questions (Because creepy teens who need a razor are totally viable sources to getting your child toys, this happens often during the holidays)
Even with Nerf guns, parents have asked me and my brother questions about them.
Weird.

In the state I live in there is only one lego store. I thought I could go and pick up some of the new bionicle summer sets. I thought that they would have it, since they are the lego storeā¦
I arrived at the store and found the shelf of bionicles. There was only about 9 different sets there, only 2 from this year. I asked one of the clerks and she said they arenāt going to be carrying the new sets, and that they are going to stop selling bionicle after they sell these sets. She could tell I was disappointed, and offered me a coupon for free shipping at the lego store.
I had a backup plan if they didnāt have the sets. Iād get the ccbs general grievous figure. He had some cool tan pieces that I didnāt see in bionicle. He had 4 of those leg armor pieces on his arms. Unfortunately they didnāt have any of those either.
The clerk said sheād check in back to see if they had any extra. After finding none she suggested that some customers try to find sets at the barns and noble in the same mall.
I left the store and went to barns and noble. They didnāt have the new sets, not that I expected them to. They did have general grievous, and I saw another person looking through the legos as well. He was from the lego store, he said he was looking for a wall-e set (which he found). I told him about finding general grievous, and joked that a bookstore has more legos than the lego store.
I looked at the price 35$. 5$ more than regular, but I didnāt want to go home empty handed. I got the set and went home.
I still plan to get the new bionicle sets, but Iāll probably order them online. I looked at the coupon the clerk gave me.
It expired in 2014.
Wow. Real great service there.

Same story at the one in Milwaukee. However, the clerk did say that it isnāt expired, despite what it says on the back.
Also, Grievous is always $35

At least you people have a lego store in your state. There four of them in Pennsylvania but next to none in the midwest unless you want to drive all the way to Minneapolis or risk going to the Kansas/Missouri border.
