I dropped by DD to look at the store today. The privacy wall is still up around
the whole thing, but there's a lot of work going on; through the gaps in the
wall I could see lots of painters painting. The window displays don't appear to
be set up yet.
There are a LOT of new sculptures around the store. The sea serpent appears to
be new and very slightly changed from the previous one (I could be wrong, but I
think the old one had a tongue and this one doesn't). Gone are the vacationing
dinosaurs eating the ice cream cone; in their place are large versions of the
shark from 4506, the crab from 4101, and the fish from (I think) 4401. Gone
also is the old discolored UFO; in its place is a beautifully-modeled family of
four and their dogs. A giant version of the red dinosaur from 4507 can be seen
waving his head back and forth over the privacy wall.
I stopped in the Lego tent and asked when the store will reopen - I expected to
be told "soon" or "we don't have a date yet" or something like that, but instead
they said, "Tomorrow."
So I guess the workers are putting all the final touches on things. It looked
like there was at least a few more days of work to be done - nothing's been put
back onto the store's roof yet, and there doesn't appear to be anything in the
play area outside other than a covered area and the dinosaur model - but I guess
these workers are going to be putting in a lot of overtime before tomorrow
morning.
I'll be there tomorrow to take pictures and, if the place really is open, to buy
lots of bricks. :)
