So they close one 15 minutes away from me, and now they open one 45 minutes away, within 20 minutes of two others. Way to go Lego.
I’m the one stuck somewhere where the best place to get LEGO locally is a Target.
OMG!! Finally, A LEGO Store within minutes. Arden Fair Mall FTW!!
Some day they will open a new one over here in Florida. :P
You’re not alone, Nannan :)
I always thought the KOP mall would be the perfect place for a Lego store. I was overjoyed when I first heard the rumors a few months ago, because I work in King of Prussia. And now it’s almost here! I can’t wait!
Count me as another one going “Woo-hoo!” for the King of Prussia store. Conceptually, the King of Prussia mall is nearly identical to the Tyson’s Corner mall in Virginia, so it makes sense that KofP should have a Lego Store too.
Pity they’ve closed some in the UK
@Nannan: Me too. We have to drive for almost two hours to get to the nearest LEGO store. And our nearest Wal-Mart and TRU recently closed, opening new ones farther away.
Why the eff don’t they make one in Kansas City? It’s such a central location for 6 surrounding states… I’ll likely never step foot in a Lego store *tear*
Oh and I’m so bummed about the next possible Lego Land in Johnson County, KS not happening.
Yes! A LEGO store that isn’t hours away! Now it’s just 45 minutes to the King of Prussia. Thanks for the news TBB!
Argh… We need one in New Orleans, or Baton Rouge. I think the closest is the one south of houston: and that’s 6 hours away.
I didn’t even pay attention to the details: man, I’d love a make & take liberty bell. Includes crack. Rock on.
Aaahhh!!! Another in California? Share the love with the mid-south. Jeez.
king of prussia is the closest one to me and still a ways off
Any ideas on what times we would have to show up to score one of those exclusive sets? (Specifically KoP)
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I ONLY LIVE 2 CITIES AWAY ONLY 15MINS. AWAY! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FTW!!!1!!!!!!!11!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111(=
Oh man, King of Prussia. Weird as it sounds, it’s actually easier for me to get there than to Bridgewater. I’m gonna have to go get me a Liberty Bell. That’s just too awesome to pass up.

So can anyone confirm the KoP one is actually opening today? the Ph# on KoPs website is just the generic mall ph#
Hey thanks!!!! i cant wait to go i am super close!!!!! i lve legos and have 300000 sets!!!! I know what ya mean by that you need some one to actually build it with him because all kinds of little kids bilding weird thing!
Very excited about KOP store opening, but I’ve never been to a Lego store – do they carry duplo products for the younger toddlers?
Thanks
@Kim – Yes, they do carry Duplo. Depending on the store size, some of them carry a lot of Duplo.
KoP is 40 minutes away! WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY closer than br
idge water, i still think they need one i philadelphia.
Yehey!!!! I’m so exited to have a Lego store which will have more seletions for all ages.
I was thrilled when they opened the one in chandler az(I live in tucson az) but I am kinda freaked out that they opened ANOTHER one in CA. CA may be big, but the country is bigger. If you look at their locations you’ll see that they are almost all on the cos. Maybe lego gets more business there, but their DESPERATELY needed in the mid us. Dont get me wrong, lego should open stores in as many places possible, but they should get ONE in each state first, then add more to major cite as s. Just my opinion.
