When I first walked in the store, I felt like I was a little kid in the candy store. In the front center of the door, there was a city layout of boxes for the new Batman sets. Here kids could play with the new sets. On the table I found a half destroyed Batman Set. A little north there was a small table also for little kids. Next to the tables were two Batman models. In the way back, The Wall Of Lego Pieces. Each bin was dived into to parts. I know this because my mom embarrass me for asking help. He got the green 1x4 mixed with the tan 1x4 bricks. On the sides in the little round windows were miniland figers with the sets on top. Ok you now picture it right? Ok Heres my story. I me and my mother were trying to fit as much lego in the large cups as we can. Instead of geting a SW set I got the Unoffical LEGO Builder's Guide instead. The prize came up to $41.00 (US). Sadly I did not bring my camrea to the store. But look what I got. Pictures

Jamit: The Unoffical LEGO Builder's Guide has insturctions for the Miniland Figs. I will share the steps to LAML soon. The store is in a mall. I Don't know how big it was but it was not big as the Downtown Disney One.
dyip-90: The folder is working now.

Yes, I remember when I made my first and only LEGO store trip. I know exactly how you were feeling. The only problem is that I was on a time limit, so I didn't get to see everything there was to see, but I did see some of the stuff you mentioned. A Pick-a-Brick run is probably the most amazing thing I've ever done in a mall. All the old grey....all the sand blue....all the classic pieces. I would absolutely love to have the chance to go to a LEGO store again. Next time I'm in California, I am certainly going to have to go to LEGOLand.
Good to see another LEGO fan who loved his LEGO store experience!
