Vancouver LEGO store

[timtosino]

Forgot to mention, does anyone know who the guy was standing near the R2-D2 in the LEGO Universe jacket? He looks awfully familiar but I just can't think of the place I've seen him before.

Might have been John Langrish who's from Victoria, guy with glasses?

Yes, that is the guy.

Hi I am a newbie here...wondering how many of you venture out to the store this morning. I got there at 730am and there were 60 ahead of me. By the time I left at 1020am the lineup was all the way to Scotia Bank! It was insane.

Hi Lawrry, welcome to the boards. A number of the VLC members were helping out with the event today but I did see one of our members in line today.

That was me Pierre. We got there at 8:15 and got in around 11:00. The line up to pay was about 30 minutes so one of us lined up while the other shopped. I got the Lego store, R2 duplicate block and the free droid mini fig. Then we left the mall and went to get some free comic books. It was a good day.

Scooz604, yeah, I know, I was just too lazy to look up your screen name on my mobile. What was the R2 duplicate block?

I believe he meant DUPLO and the part he is talking about is this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4066pb367

Yes, I didn't catch the autocorrect of duplo.

I have decided not to go today. Could someone please describe the line up conditions for today?

[JayKay]

Not nearly as busy as yesterday. There were still some mini fig give aways at closing time.

[timtosino]

Oh so no tantrums like yesterday when the last of the sets were gone?

[JayKay]

No but I had a kid swear at me at the build. I was refilling one of the bins and went to grab it. The kids said, "I'm not F%#£ing done with that." i pretended not to hear him and I took it anyways.

[brankell5566]

Darn it. Should of have went. I was fearing someone would say that.

One of the kids at the start on Friday was waiting in line for the build, when someone (I think Peter) offered him a Tips and Tricks Card he exclaimed "I know LEGO inside and out". He wound up at my table and I showed him the instruction card, he muttered the same thing. When he was done his brick was two studs too long, his mom pointed it out to him and they placed it on the card to measure. He started dismantling it but still didn't care about following the plan on the card

I saw them being given away to some people in line by the employees, but no we didn't have them on the build event, not while I was there.

Do we expect to see the some monthly event of Lego store, like May the 4th?

[darthchilli]

You mean the Monthly Model Build? Well it is recommended for kids ages 6-14. I have a few more months until I turn 15. But you can probably say to them you want to bring one of these models home to your nephw or something.

[chump]

It looks like they sell the monthly build too for $10.99 for those that missed out or are adults. I saw some at the end of the PaB counter.

The brick with the R2-D2 on it was given away with a purchase in the store. I got one.

I just got mine today aswell. I was able to get the Duplo brick though when I made my purchase in the store on Saturday. It's my first and only Duplo Brick too. Hehe

[brankell5566]

Anyone able to get the Marvel Avengers movie poster the the LEGO Store?

[Northof49]

Hmm... I was under the assumption that the Lego Avengers Poster was available at certain theatres on opening weekend. I don't believe that was available in the lego store. Would have been cool to get it though.
