PBF is too crowded, so I started a new thread
he is in the workings to become a LEGO dealer
@matthew-jeffory Do you mean that he is planning to open a real store, an online store or both? I have heard that there are a lot of requirements to meet to become a LEGO a retail seller.PBF is too crowded, so I started a new thread
Thank you for that.
It would be a mobile store, and it would not be online because the market is too saturated with people who buy low and sell low and make profitability too low to even consider online… I know there are lots of requirements, the biggest one is, the $10,000 min per year purchase, also the fact that lots of the sets and things are not easily obtained…
10k a year does not seem like much – I thought they would prevent someone opening within a certain distance of a retail store that sells LEGO.
When you have a small list of what is available to a dealer, yes its a lot, because if you have a bunch of sets that dont move at all, spending 10k is a lot… and its not a physical store with brick and mortar, it would be a “mobile” store that moves around just like the greenberg shows…
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mobile store that sells real LEGO products, only business ventures like BrickArms.

What’s his name and store name? We were at Greenberg in Monroeville in Nov 2014 and Nov 2013 and I don’t remember him being at either one. I’m not sure if the LUG has done a Greenberg show that I wasn’t at. There is a thread here for the Greenberg show in July.
His name is Frank… i dont know the store name. And hes at each one in monroville, he has limited items, because like i said, the inventory list that LEGO gives him is not easy to obtain sets and things of the larger sorts… For instance, once sets are released, the dealers get a online website they can choose sets and “x” from. The sets are marked with a stop light at the cart area botton, green for you will get those sets, yellow for you might, and red for its not happening for a long time… He said that even if its green, you can wait up to three months for the sets…
