I too got a mailer! Lego store, minifig, shirt, and giant dynamic duo build…who could ask for more!? Psyched!
October 11, 2018 at 7:38 pm #29048JoshKeymasterThat’s awesome. I’m going camping with my girls that weekend and won’t likely be able to go to get any of these promos. IF anyone wants the VIP points to buy me something each day, I’d be down for someone being my buyer.
October 11, 2018 at 7:45 pm #29051Matt RedfieldKeymasterBut for realz, @paulamalu, is that image representative of the exclusive PGH minifig…?!?
October 12, 2018 at 1:21 am #29060Will McDineParticipantI am in for that Mini Lego Store!
October 12, 2018 at 5:37 am #29061PaulaParticipant@philmatt24 I love him! And after last night, my mini is going to be holding a hotdog!

Its hard to find one the LEGO store for less than $30, but there isn’t much exclusive about it the set except the stickers. However, between Fri and Sat, I think Saturday is going the day to be there.

You can’t sidestep my question so easily as a Phil Kessel reference, Paula…!

I could help you @joshhall but it says per person and not per purchase. The fine print may be the undoing. I can try though. Maybe the manager will allow it for you….do you know her!? ??
October 12, 2018 at 8:40 pm #29073JoshKeymasteryeah, I don’t want anyone to jeopardize their own experience, obviously. Like if someone was going with their friend or spouse or teenaged kid, etc.
I have no intentions on ever calling in favors to the manager there, not because she’s not awesome, but because I know what it’s like after you have 1 person ask for special treatment.

Yeah Friday is Really my only day to go due to work. As far as the other give-away items go, they dont seem to interest me. I am not really a Hockey fan(since the flyer is suggesting it will be hockey related), and the shirts will more than likely not be fat man friendly so the Lego store set is the most useful for me.
Also just a heads up for those who collect or enjoy the Ideas line. Ive seen multiple things on Instagram hinting that 10/26/18 is the official release date of the Ideas Pop Up Book.

Getting there Friday at 10 AM challenging, and I got a vague encouragement about being there Saturday, but maybe the person who delivered it IS a hockey fan. 😀

Aww… now I’d feel bad calling in favors. Darn you and your moral compass, Josh!
it says per person and not per purchase.
Hmm, what if we find some other 6’4″ bald guy with glasses to come to the store? Or, just, any old mule who doesn’t want the exclusives for themself?

Play hooky, Greg! That’s what I’ma do!!
October 14, 2018 at 9:16 pm #29097TimModeratorAnd after last night, my mini is going to be holding a hotdog!
Give him three hot dogs, one for each part of the hattie!

According to the FB event (https://www.facebook.com/events/112450159653257/), the shirts are “child size”, so you’re not alone on this one, Will. I’ll prob try to go Friday and/or Saturday morn.
October 18, 2018 at 12:10 pm #29125Rich MillichParticipantI. WANT. FIG.
And some more of those 4×8 black plates off the PaB wall. Maybe increase my LEGO mug collection.
I was surprised at the number of hard to get, marquee LEGO sets that were there on the soft open. I was drooling over Ninjago City, but learning compact building structure layouts, which was the main draw of that set for me, could be accomplished with smaller sets or modulars that I could get from other LUGgers. The Brick Bank I got from @randomdan is still sitting there awaiting teardown and rebuild…
I might get another Speed Champions set, as I like learning car building techniques more. Easier, faster payoff with fewer parts to analyze per body.
I intend to be there at the gates on that Saturday morning, maybe with a MOC in hand for fun. Yyyeahhhh, that Vic is swooshable… First public appearance maybe?
October 18, 2018 at 1:54 pm #29129PaulaParticipantSoooo the mini fig is going to say Pittsburgh on the back! The T shirt on Sunday is apparently a throwback marketing color scheme?
October 18, 2018 at 2:14 pm #29130David BaconParticipantSoooo the mini fig is going to say Pittsburgh on the back!
Ok, that figure has now skyrocketed in my value of it. Funny how just a simple printing of the city name can do that.

Yet, it is still just a child’s size shirt, right?

Unfortunately, Lego just announced today that the pop-up book set won’t be available on Nov 1, sadly a week after this fun grand opening celebration.

From the flier, it looked like maybe it’s the “original” LEGO brick colors (white/black/red/yellow/blue)…

We know people, David… people with very particular sets of skills… #justsayin’

You know Liam Neeson?
October 23, 2018 at 11:54 am #29191LauraParticipantSo I tried to get Friday off but since there are already 10 teachers out they won’t give me the day. Is there anyone who’s going that I could give money to so I can get the exclusive set? I really want it ='(

same, but I have called a LEGO store (the one in Orlando) and had the order picked up later, do you think we could do that?

You could just order it on Bricklink.

Priorities, people! We can’t just send one or two LUG members and try to buy for all the rest of you who have “reasons” you “can’t” come to the Grand Opening!

I’d wager the special promotional items are in-person only…

Are you scalping yours?
October 24, 2018 at 1:13 pm #29196Micah BeidemanParticipantI’m definitely re-selling the Lego store set 😛
