Good afternoon,

I’ve been posting a bit, every now and then with my work email, so I thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Brian Gefrich, and I’m the Team Lead at the LEGO Outlet at Potomac Mills, Virginia. I’ve been with Brand Retail for about six months now, however, my love of LEGO has been around for much, much longer. While I’m not quite old enough to remember some of the classic space sets (such as 497 - the Galaxy Explorer I love so much now), I’d still have to say that I’m a spacer at heart. Most of what I post here will be non-work related, mostly my Joe Meno-inspired MOCs, and won’t have the spiffy little LEGO logo by my name. I’ll only be making “official” posts regarding things related to our store, i.e. sales, new items, etc., and these will mostly come by request, if people want to know.

Outside of work, I’ve been steadily rebuilding my collection of LEGO since the end of my dark age. Although not yet a member, I’ve been attending WAMALUG meetings and have gotten a lot of good feedback from them regarding the store. I look forward to Brickfest this year, although my manager has assured me that my presence will be required at work for a majority of the event. ;)

Of course, as a disclaimer, there’s no reason why official LEGO statements or policies would come through me to be posted here, so my posts are mine alone, and not the opinions or views of LEGO Brand Retail.



I look forward to some good discussion, getting around to showing off some of my work, and maybe seeing some of you in Woodbridge.

Thanks,

Brian P. Gefrich Team Lead LEGO Outlet, Potomac Mills

Hey Brian!

Luckily, the list of LEGO employees posting here seems to be growing. Which I think is good. I’ve heard that there are some long-time employees from the Mall of America store posting, the new stores in Chicago and New Jersey have a few posters, and the Georgia outlet store has somebody and I’ve even heard some trainers might show up once and a while. Just what I heard though. :)

I want a LEGO logo next to my name!

Haven’t seen too many other people that I know on here yet, but I’m glad to hear that they are involved. I try to pass the word around about LUGNET and AFOLs in general to anyone who suggests that they couldn’t possibly take a few minutes out of their shopping day to “play”.

It gets you emails from Jake McKee, but you always have to be careful when you use it.

It was my understanding that this is driven by the system recognising that you work for LEGO, it’s not just a cool piece of gadgetry. :-)

Does the Potomac Mills store have Pick-a-Brick, and if not will it be getting it in time for Brickfest in August? The Capitol Building has seen better days, so if it was removed, that would leave a decent space for the P.A.B.

The Capitol has already been removed - no word yet on PaB

The Capital has indeed been moved to LEGOLAND in Germany, however, the jury is still out I believe on how exactly PAB would be implemented in our store. One thing is that we have gone to yellow shirts now and should be seeing an upgrade in fittings and decor soon.
