Sorry, There isn't a store there. I went in
March. I can't remember if there were tours or
not, but I'm pretty sure they stopped doing them.
The only things to see down there, are the
sculptures in the front lawn and a day care that
has large lego bumps on it.

Sadly, it seems no :(
I've heard from about 4 different sources who
have said there's no stores or
'real' publically accessible areas (their lobby
maybe) in Enfield. And no,
they don't do public tours :( [though it has
been a long standing goal of
ours to GET a group tour going with NELUG
members with some special deal
with TLC].
1 source (a former S@H operator) told me that
there *IS* in fact a Lego
store there, but ONLY accessible for Lego
employees, and full of 'reject'
Lego part baggies, random pieces, and "damaged"
sets. They sell parts &
baggies by the pound, and sets at deep discount--
on the one condition that
you're not allowed to re-sell them while you're
still employed by Lego.
And *1* source, after being told by us that
there were no public stores or
tour areas in Enfield, assured us quite
adamantly that there in fact *WAS* a
public area there selling great sets & the like.
We have our doubts.
Suffice to say, I've been put off of going (I
live about 2.5 hours away
maybe) on the chance that I'd be in the car for
5 hours to be turned around
and headed home with nothing to show for it
other than the assurance that
the 1st 4 sources were correct...
Anyway, I'd love to get a trip together for
going down there if we're proven
wrong and there IS something that we can get
into... Anyone know better?
