What Lego needs to do is start reissuing old sets. They have all the parts, just make old sets again with retro boxes. You'd have a lot of buyers then. Look at the retro Transformers/GI Joes, etc.

I loved the monorail. My parents got me that for Christmas when I was 6 or so. Still have it and it usually gets built every few years.

Hell yes they would have a shat tonne of buyers, and guess what - those buyers have disposable income.

Indeed. Have you guys seen the not so new "Masterpiece" line of Transformers? They make them several times larger, more detailed, fully transformable but they look like they did in the cartoons.

I believe right beside Bath and Body works if not, a few stores down from it.

Went to it last week when they first open. It's pretty neat, I wish it was bigger. The one in Chicago was about 5-6 times bigger, so they had room for a lot of giant lego models.

I was at the mall the day it opened. It's located on the 2nd floor. I was disappointed by how small the store was afterl it got so much hype. I expected it to be a lot bigger.

There were ton of workers, but I don't think I saw anyone buy anything. It feels more like a museum then a store.

For those of you who have already been there, have you noticed if they have Lego Architechture? I've been waiting since they released it and nobody in Calgary picked it up, hopefully the actual official store is different.
