McLean, VA
Rockaway, NJ
(For more details, keep an eye on the LEGO
Stores Web site. We’ll soon be updating with more info.
Hopefully this will make some folks (I know the San Franciscans for sure!)
happy.
And yes, I know there are still a great many cities that don’t have a LEGO
store close by, and we’re working on that. We can only do so much at a time!

It’s great to know this, but what does it really matter? I live in Minn and the
only thing the Lego store at the MOA offers that I can’t get at the local
Walmart or Target is PAB. (Unfortunately, the one here, in general, stinks.
Same old basic brick offerings for 6 months.)
At least Target and Walmart, they clearance things out and you can get some good
deals. The MOA store doesn’t receive any new sets faster than the local stores.
For example, Kohl’s just had a buy 1 get 1 half off sale, so I was able to
pickup some of the new HP sets cheaper. If the Lego stores did this kind of
thing more often than just at Christmas, then YES, let’s get some more Lego
stores!
Worst off, any damaged boxes and products get sent off to another store or
bought by the employees. So general public never gets deals on these.
Lastly, MOA store hasn’t even updated their scuptures for years. Get some new
stuff in PLEASE! The only new stuff is created by the employees and displayed
in some of the cases.
