In 1992, Lego unveiled an Imagination Center at Minnesota's behemoth Mall of
America.  Two years ago, it set up a similar store at a Disney retail
complex in Orlando, Fla.  the company also dabbled in outlet malls, opening
stores last year in Virginia and Georgia.

In the end, Lego chose the Imagination Center concept.  Large by mall
standards -each store is 4000 to 5000 square feet- Imagination Centers are
like miniature theme parks.  Packed with play areas for kids and elaborate
Lego-brick displays, they're designed to make shoppers say 'Wow, that's what
I could do if I only had 50,000 bricks', Haviluk said.


I hope that doesn't mean that the "dabbling" started at the Lego Outlet Malls
is going to stop!  Go ahead with the LIC's but don't mess with the Outlets.
PLEASE!
