I am looking for a set (cheap set, $4.99 if order from Lego.ca) of lego but the only place I know who sells is Toy'r'us but thet dont carry it, if order from lego.ca the shipping is gonna cost at least $3 which didnt make sense to order from them, is there any store that carry more lego?

[Gumby]

What set is it?

Unfortunately, ToysRUs has the largest selection of LEGO. Other stores may sell LEGO, such as Sears, Zellers, Walmart, or independent toy stores such as Splash Toys, The Toy Box, etc, but their selections are really limited.

not really local but if you plan on making a trip down to seattle they have a dedicated lego store there

Ive spent lots on lego and damn do i regret this $2000+.. Anyways the only stores I knew of were the larger big store and the only small shop I went to was.
The granville island toy company near main and 16th. Either than that you are SOL. Check legos website and it tell you where the nearest main lego stores are but i dont think there are any in the lower mainland.

toys r us has a huge selection

i read that as:

"where to buy lego legally?"

did not know it was a crime to build plastic forts.

I was down at lego world (Bellevue) 2 weeks ago to buy Grand Emporium, got too excited and totally forgot about the other set I was going to get, anyway, its the 8398, a cheap set but i would use some parts for my cafe corner. I checked 2 ToysRus (metro and W.Boardway) they both didnt carry it and when I check their web site its not even listed. so somehow I think they dont carrry it. if anmyine sees it please let me know.

Yeah those small little things are really hard to find. Most retailers only have the big stuff. Try the Grandville island toy company they do have lots of kids toys aswell. Better yet call in and ask.

All the cool kids played with Lego while you were being a little bitch.

you're cheap and you suck

[CorneringArtist]

I don't know why, but when I was younger I managed to get 3 sets of those LEGO Bionicle ones, the normal ones, the mutated ones, and those ball-shaped ones. Then the series got all retarded and by then I lost interest.

Making LEGO guns was fun as hell though.

That's funny - of all the creations you could have picked from people around the world, you picked something that was built by someone who happens to live in the Lower Mainland - Burnaby I think! :D

I love lego, I grow up playing with buckles and buckles of them since mom worked at a very big toys import/export company back in the days ... I remember threw them out the door/window to our kids and swallowed most fo the tiny ones ... let's hope they went through the system by them, lol ....

but, I do think lego nowaday doesn't leave much room for imagination for little kids ... they all come in different shapes and pictures painted on them ... compare to just different size of bricks back them

you threw them out the door/window to feed the kids? what a douchebag :confused:

[nns]

I think buddy is suffering from the side effects of eating all that Lego as a kid.

[winson604]

Lego is wicked. I picked up the new Seattle Space Needle and Empire State Building one recently. Oh how I miss my old legos. WTF was I thinking giving it away.

[Mr.Jay]

I love lego but my family was broke as shit and I never had any of my own.

Lego is the shit tho.

i loved lego as a kid. in our family we do christmas presents christmas even and my family would always be pissed that id have my new lego thing built by the time i went to bed christmas eve. i still have a photo album somewhere of all the lego things i created when i was a kid.

its such an amazing learning tool for children. at first it teaches you how to follow directions and build something, and then later use your imagination to create your own.

[AznK]

I put all my lego into storage. I had a whole fuckin city. Seems like the OP is doins something similar.

Post it up!!!

I think I remember Gumby's post back in the day.

haha .. no I threw those big ones out the door and I swallowed a bunch of tiny ones ...

[skillznrice]

when i was about 6, lego showed me how imagination comes out the most in life. i still remember the first ever object i created...it was suppose to be a building but ended up a crane. i even stole my mothers camera and took pictures of it. i should dig up the pictures :)

[shenmecar]

Lego is win. End of story. Fuck you all who thinks Lego sucks, you are obviously the deprived kid who never got to play with Lego.

[Datsun]

I remember this really badass set with an electric train at Toys R us when I was little.

I still want it.


and a fun thing to build if youre bored and happened to grow up with 8-bit:

I used to play with the Castle set and the Private set when I was a kid. haven’t touch Lego even since until like 5 years ago when they released the cafe corner and that really catch my eye and brought that online immediately. thats why I am looking for those small set like this BBQ set to finish the interior of the cafe corner. the Grand Emporium is the 2nd "big set" that I brought recently. Might get the green grocer also depends.

[68style]

I don't see the big deal paying for the shipping to be honest...... because you'll spend at least $3 in gas just driving through 1 municipality going to a store to buy it? Just saying :p

[Mr.Jay]

fuck

i wanna build that mario now

Ouch - way to rub it in! :D

To be honest, I *have* seen this set at the Lansdowne TRU, but it was awhile ago. These tiny sets are often not on the shelf - they'll be in a bin in a random location in the store, or at the ends of the shelves on racks.

If you do end up ordering it online from LEGO, shipping is $5.95 for orders up to $25, so add more to your cart and get as close to $25 as possible.

Another alternative is to buy it from someone in the US on Bricklink. If you don't need the box, I'm sure shipping in a padded envelope won't cost too much.

[Yuffa]

I remember LEGO almost went bankrupt at one point because the Mercury level was too high ....

I loved playing with it though....had a whole space station set with a train running on batteries.....good times....

Edit: A friend bought this recently....pretty wicked~
