Lego store - what's unique?

[HaveKidsWillTravel]

I know that there is a Lego store in Downtown Disney. Besides being a LEGO STORE in DISNEY (two worlds colliding!!!) Do they sell anything that I wouldn't be able to get at a 'regular' Lego store or online? Thanks!

They do have the largest selection of Legos that I have ever seen. I could also sit and play in there toy bins like a kid for hours.

As far as I can tell there is nothing unique there.

Nothing there is unique, at all. And all are sold at their list price. I've found the same sets on Amazon, and other online retailers, for much cheaper.

I don't think there is anything new to buy. They do have some neat lego sculptures, lots of legos to play with and some other activities.

I haven't found anything unique, but the life size Disney Lego characters are really cool to see!

We were pretty disappointed to find there was nothing unique in the shops at Legoland, even. And the "hard to get" stuff like Unikitty was sold out there too.

We got the sea serpent like is out in the water there.....not sure if it is unique or not.

Its kind of neat seeing all the lego lines there so you can compare them. But as for the actual sets, I would never buy one there. They are at full price, you can get the same thing much cheaper elsewhere.

My kids do like to play in the bins there though, its a nice 15 minute diversion but nothing spectacular as far as a retail experience.

If anything I have noticed that things might be alittle more expensive.
Until this year I thought it was a big store too, but they just opened up a whole play area north of Toronto,Canada and its huge, costs $20 each to get in. Neat Lego rides and all,and a huge shop.

There are no unique sets at the Downtown Disney store and the prices are the standard retail price.

I don't know if they still do this, but I have bought personally engraved bricks from there. I have yet to see another Lego store that does this.

They have the same prices as the online Lego store.
On occasion you get a great sale. We were able to get 2 batman sets over the July 4th weekend (sale) one for 40 that is 50 everywhere and the other for 23.99 that is always sold out but 30 when you can get it. Could not figure the 23.99 one out as we walked in the day before for that set and it was sold out, person next to us also wanted it.. two days later 23.99. (except TRU which charges more then retail )

(except TRU which charges more then retail )

I noticed that TRU seems to charge the normal price for new sets and then raises them $1-$10 after a few weeks.
