Early Exclusive Availability of the Ocean Odyssey Designer Set (#4888)
Junior FIRST LEGO League Experience Display
|
I got two of these at the event--I built one--it’s a really nice set! I’ll try
my hand at a set review in the near future. (in a nutshell--it’s a must buy!)
I think we’ve got the T-shirts at the outlet (adult sizes in Medium, large, and
XL) for 12 bucks each. Front of the shirt is the FLL’s “No Limits” logo on the
front, and the a LEGO logo, with the FLL event description on the back.
Give the store a call if interested: (678) 847-6078

Students from 36 states and 16 countries came for the FLL event.
The whole weekend was a great time! If you managed to be at the LEGO Retail
Booth around 10 AM, they had a special visitior--Kjeld himself!!
(Jeff even helped out at the Brand Retail booth for a bit throughout the
weekend)
Incredible turnout for the club displays and the Brand Retail booth.
If anybody has the time to be a FLL coach, or can attend next year’s event, I
strongly suggest it! It’s a busy, high energy, mile-a-minute event, and it
gives you great hope seeing these high school students using their intelligence,
innovation, and creativity in an event like this.
