The Mall of America LEGO store got PaB. It existed long before the new push
for more stores. I may be misunderstanding you though.

That’s the first one I’ve heard of then. Excellent, that gives hope.
|
The store in downtown Chicago got pick-a-brick as well. It was a while after the
other two stores in IL opened with Pick-a-brick first. My guess would be that
the new stores get it right away and then the other stores will get it
eventually.

Yes, Bricks and Blocks has 3 locations, and the 2 I’ve been to are very well
done. They are done very professionally, and the large models and play areas
add a lot to the stores. And yes, they would be great locations for PAB’s,
since they already have the customer base as established LEGO Outlets.
But we still want a PAB in Ottawa!!! ;-D

I’ve been to Bricks and Blocks in Windsor and I agree it would make a great
location for a pick-a-brick as well.

Meanwhile, there are no Lego stores (as far as I know) in the region west
of Minnesota and north of California. That's what, a quarter of the US
and half of Canada, roughly?
So I agree with the Canadians that Canada should get a Lego store. . .
in Vancouver. :-)

I totally agree. The only other store west of Minnesota not in California is in
Colorado. BC has just under a half million people less than Colorado. Plus we
don't have any small chain toy stores. I would think this is one of the lest
saturated markets in Canada right now (Aside from Zellers and Wal-Mart). I
remember there being a period of time 2 years ago when the TRU in Bellingham, WA
(Just South of Vancouver) had a better selection than any TRU in Greater
Vancouver. They had the S@H exclusives and the Target had the MOT sets. Sure we
see plenty of sales, but that's about it
