The Lego store...anyone know what the stock is like? m About This Page:

We read about the "stuff a box" concept at the Lego store. (Have I got that right? You can buy as much as you can fit in a box for a pre-set price?) My ds is very fond of the "Knight's Kingdom" figures/pieces and I'd like to be able to get him some more of those if it's a good deal. We've already mentioned the Lego store and now he's getting wistful...I don't want to raise his expectation if the bargains are all on the basic bricks or something (which are great, and which we will probably get anyway, but you know...).

I have made my own "stuff a box" and it was just the basic bricks. The wall of colorful lego pieces is a truly neat site though.You might be able to find sets from the Knight's Kingdom, but I don't remember seeing any on the wall of legos that you can make the boxes with.

i'd be pretty sure it's just bricks too. didn't visit the orlando store, but Toys R Us in NYC has a wall of bricks which is kinda the same concept (always seemed expensive to me too).

just basically every color brick in assorted sizes.

My girls [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/love.gif[/img] to "stuff a cup" at Lego every time we go. They make incredible creations w/ DH every evening, usually a parade/floats of some kind. There are 2 different size plastic cups (but they are deceiving...the bottom has a "bump" in it, so it's best to find some really small bits to put around that part [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]) It's as much as you can stuff in and have the lid still snap on.

We've stocked up on wheels, fences, windows/doors, various colors/sizes of standard bricks, etc. This last time, there were these little green pieces that snapped together and form a hinge-type thing that they loaded up on and have made some awesome dinosaurs and other fun things. I don't remember there being any specific knights stuff on the wall, but there was still a LOT to choose from and quite a wide variety. The cashier always jokes that it's a good thing they don't sell it by the pound when we do it. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

They only have the bricks and other various pieces for the stuff a box, they wouldn't have any of the Knight's Kingdom pieces sold separately.

They will have the Knights and possibly swords, capes, masks, pencil sets, t-shirts. You may be able to find the next year's Advent Calendar, but I don't think they're out yet.

We've gotten numerous Knights Kingdoms sets at DTD Lego store, alas it's just plain bricks to stuff your box (or cup) [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

We are always disappointed with the stock in the store. Ther are so few things to choose from....and there is plenty of space for a good variety of things. I don't understand why they don't stock it like the catalogs.

The "pick-a-brick" station is just bricks, yes.

But in December, the DTD Lego store also had "pick-a-mini" station, where you could put together mini-figures.

I had a blast making the wierdest combos - a bearded mean head with Princess Leia's metal bra body and a basketball players legs. It was a hoot.

Here's a tip that Zack figured out - if you can't find good accessories, ask at the check-out counter. They had a big bin behind the counter that you could pick through.
