For those who may not have seen some of the messages about this, there is a
Lego Store opening in the Potomac Mills Shopping Center in Virginia this Friday
(Nov. 19). I and most of the Northern Virginia Lego Train Club will be there.
The Shopping Center opens at 8am, and the stores (including the Lego one) open
at 10am. To get to Potomac Mills, just take I-95 south from the Capital
Beltway until you see a *really* big sign that says Potomac Mills. It isn't
too far south of the Beltway, if I remember correctly. We hope to see you
there!

Hi Jeff,
Is this an actual LEGO store, similar to the LEGO outlet store that recently
opened in Georgia? Or is this a toy store that happens to sell LEGO...?
(I'm guessin the former, given the title of the post, but it's almost too
good to be true...)

Yes, it is. I believe someone who went to the Georgia opening met and talked
to the Manager for the Virginia Store. Also, one of the members of WAMALUG has
spoken to the Virginia Store manager a couple times.

P.S. Only Nineteen and a Half hours to go! Woohoo!!

I guess I now have another reason to venture north on I-95.
Interestingly, I was just at Potomac Mills about two months ago and I did
not see anything as far as advertising a new store. All I found was the one
toy outlet which carried a small selection of Lego (mainly old Time Cruisers
stuff that noone wanted).

Well, I took a long lunch and swung over there for a commando raid. Here are
the shop highlights as I see them.
2126 Rail Cars for 39.99 (Has been on ebay for in the $70's lately)
5442 Black Thunder Helicopter for 32.99
8462 Tow Truck for 93.59 !!!!!!!!!!! (120+ from LSAHS)
Oh, and they had a US Capitol very much like the one in front of the factory
in Enfield, CT, a Lincoln Memorial (I think) and a White House that they were
still putting together. Really I just ran in and ran out.

Can someone headed out there PLEASE ask if they ship elsewhere, and if so, get
their phone number? There are some sets I'd like to buy from them, but I'm in
California.

From my ($250+ (Oh, the wife is gonna love this one)) receipt:
Lego Potomac Mills
2700 Potomac Mills Circle Suite 861
Potomac Mills, VA 22192
(703) 490 1335
((However, someone else posted on a different thread that the store was not
set up to do mail order.))
I am going to be back out in Virginia on Sunday and I may make another trip. I
won't promise anything but I may come back with as many of these as my ropy
arms can carry.
I think, though I am not sure, that the boxes are just a little too big to fit
in the free priority mail shipping boxes, so getting them out to people would
be involved. If you don't need original boxes I could drop all of the
contents into a free priority mail box and send them for the $3.20, maybe just
adding 10-15% to cover my costs. I think two of them might get in under two
pounds, but at the most it would be $4.30. I sell a bit on ebay and I am a
GREAT packer so I would be sure to put extra tape on the boxes and packing
material to cushion the pieces. (Please no Green Bay jokes. (Though my winter
coat is a Packer's jacket, but that is a whole 'nother story!))
Any interest out there, let me know by Saturday evening, just be sure to take
the REMOVE out of my email address.

I think I am going to have to cut this off soon. The reply has been pretty
good to my posting. I will be getting 17 - 25 of these tomorrow, and I figure
that is about all that I can carry. I will cut this offer off for now at Noon
Today, eastern time, pretty much when this message says 20 minutes old.
Thanks for the great response. I will keep everyone up to date.
Will
