For my readers around the world who have never seen a Brick Wall, may I present the LEGO Brick Wall from the North Point Mall store:
We love going to the store to browse the Brick Wall and play with all the bricks. It feels a little like finding a cave full of treasure and running your fingers through the massive amounts of gold coins. Yea, that’s a bit of an exxageration, but I do like to stick my hands in the bins and play with the bricks. I’m so glad the stores stock turns over quickly and that they clean often.
So unhygienic now that I wrote that out. Eww. Anywho…
And if you’re wanting to add some of the new LEGO Friends colors to your stash, this is generally a good place to get them.
All of our stores have different bricks and I can never really seem to remember what store had which bricks. So I’ve been thinking of going around and taking photos of the walls to post on the blog. I wonder how much that would weird out the employees?
We also just learned that bricks in the wall get refreshed once a quarter. The next new set of bricks will come in October. Kinda bummed us out a bit, since we always looked forward to seeing what new bricks we might find on the wall before we knew they would be the same week after week for 3 months.
Anyhow, does anyone else visit the LEGO Brick Wall often?
Do you think the available range contains anything not available via “Pick a Brick” mail order?
No, it’s the same stuff. Most of what you see is basic pieces with a few special items and just some of the new colors.
Would be awesome, though, if you got some items not order-able on the website!
