The Lego Store

I like bringing my children here for obvious reasons. They have a great selection of Legos, and sometimes they have better prices than amazon.
Also I never had an issue with customers service, they seem friendly and efficient enough to keep the line moving when it gets crowded in there.

The people were very friendly and I was there to buy 3 small pieces for a Pirate Ship. They found the pieces by digging through a large bin full of extras. And of course legos were awesome.

That VW conversion van kit was calling my name. Alas, there were none in stock.
For the kid or the inner kid, this is a nice place to shop. It’s a shame it’s such a small storefront though. It means it gets crowded fast and that they probably don’t keep a lot of items in stock.

Wow, it’s crowded and wild and noisy, but also full of Lego. If you are a Lego fan, this is the place for you. They have some really interesting items that you may not be able to find in just any store carrying Lego. The frenetic pace set by the 6 and 7 year olds shopping in the store can be frazzling and only out done by the middle aged kids exclaiming over the Star Wars specialty items, like the Death Star. What fun. :-)

Man my son loves Legos and is always asking me to take him to get some. So I know when I end up here, I’m gonna spend a lot of money. The Chimas set can easily run over $ 100. One hundred bucks for some legos. That is crazy. But you got to keep the kids happy. So I spent $ 110 on a set for my son.
The selection of legos is great and the employees are friendly. Honestly the only downfall are the prices.

Small store. Friendly workers. Pricey like all legos are.

our Fave Girl is really into the «FRIENDS» LEGO sets that are catered to the Girlie Girl (IMO). love that she is taking an interest in «constructive play». i usually buy the kits from Target, but after today’s experience at TLS, i can see more visits in our future. we received helpful, yet not pushy assistance. Tiny Kool is totally into the AVENGERS theme right now so we took the opportunity to get him involved in the LEGO craze and purchased a Hulk set. made for great Dad & Son time. Yay!

I think David Nailed it!
I was expecting an Apple inspired store with engagement, and lego sculptures galore, but what we got what as small claustrophobic space with only the latest legos on display. Maybe I was expecting to much, but I’d love to see some of the older lego sets on display. They do have buckets on the back wall if your missing a lego piece, and I was inspired to buy a lego Millennium Falcon to take up my Saturd, but over all the place feels lack luster.
I haven’t experienced any problems with the staff, but lego has left me very underwhelmed with their store.
This review has been in queue for a while. I still agree with everything written above, but I want to comment and say the staff is awesome here. This has become my easy birthday present shopping for all my young nephews.
Gotta love a gift you get to play with to!

When somebody first told me there was a Lego Store in the Galleria, I couldn’t believe it; then a few weeks ago, i actually went with a friend and I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! Wall to wall were lego sets, even concepts and themes I didn’t realize existed. There’s bins where you can pick out blocks if you’re trying to build a warship or a castle, and even buy individual mini-​fig hats, wigs and accessories. Strangely, though, I couldn’t even find some lego sets that were available at the local Target by my house; The staff that worked there disappointingly didn’t really seem to be enthusiastically ‘geeky’ about legos but seemed to be consoled by how ‘cute’ it was to work there since they didn’t get hired at American Eagle. By then, a strange realization set-​in, and the store seemed more like a store you’d encounter at O’Hare International Airport; by no means comprehensive, but just the new bits to get a kid into legos in case he’d been playing XBOX most of his life, or something for a business traveler to pick out for his kid on the way back to Cleveland, since he’d just came back from ‘Space City’ Mission Control@Houston, TX. I guess I was just disappointed at how GOOD it could’ve been. Anyway, I was shocked by how expensive a lego playset is these days, it’s been years since I remember buying a Star Wars lego set; economics, I guess, it’s cheaper to get a chinese kid to assemble an iPad than it is to pay a danish factory worker to put little pieces of plastic into a box (and you have to assemble it!)

If you don’t like Legos you’re a communist.
The manager is a Lego master and friendly, even when you spend about an hour in the store trying to figure out the most effective packing fraction for your flat price bulk Lego purchase.
The store stocks all the most popular sets and board games, so despite being smallish, you can usually find what you’re looking for. I stick to the back wall of miscellaneous pieces.
They host some cool events in the mall, so keep an eye out for that.

Awesome store. It brought back childhood memories.

Visited Mr. Lego’s shop on Saturday. My wife, niece and I really enjoyed our time inside his shop for lego brick building blocks.
The outside displays are exceptional replicas of Star War favorites such as the Imperial Shuttle that includes 5 minifigures. Three of which are: Darth Vader™, a Stormtrooper™ and Luke Skywalker™. Its price tag $ 259.99
Their front display also holds Lego’s private collection, LEGO® Creator such as London’s Tower Bridge. Its a beautiful piece. Its price point is $ 239.99
Inside, Mr. Lego’s store is fully shelved with his novelty bricks of building blocks. There are blocks of almost every size for almost everyone and every age. Mr. Lego obviously has been at work for this for several years. Nice job.
Mr. Lego also offers VIP Membership. Nice. The benefits of becoming a card carrying member are toward earning promotional offers, discounts and advance notices about coming lego projects. The price tag? Zero. It’s free. So join.
There is a lounge area, go figure that one. At it, there are monitors to view legos online & lego space to build lego structures. Space is limited, however. And, the lounge is fitting for adults to sit and rest while their child is shopping to build — I’d like to call it the adult waiting room.
Personally, I like to build and I like to create. In work, I financially design proposals & recommendations for clients. It’s marvelous work that brings clients satisfaction. It has allowed me to accomplish my job and career goals for the last 7 years plus the next years to come. A personal and professional blessing. I am grateful.
Legos aren’t very much different in offering anyone the opportunity to build and to create. And, the opportunity to do so with someone so close them — a son, daughter, or niece. Or, with someone with whom they can share their dreams… A boy friend, girlfriend, or spouse.
Once the lego project is finished there is a satisfaction that is achieved on a personal level: the success of having the mental preparation and physical endurance to complete a 35 — 12,000 + piece lego structure. It’s Mr. Lego’s challenge. And, it is worth the price of the structure itself even at a staggering $ 499.99
My purchases from Mr. Lego on Sat. were Disney/​Pixar Cars 2’s Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen [35 pcs] at $ 6.99 before sales tax. The next purchase was LEGO® Star Wars™ Imperial V-​wing Starfighter [135 pcs] at $ 19.99 before sales tax.
Mr. Lego, I will see you soon again.

So much cool stuff, such little time.
From coaching the FIRST Lego League Team at the elementary school to victory as a community service initiative (NOTcourt-​mandated hardy-​har-​har) to present, I still love playing with legos. They make awesome gifts if you know anyone interesting — birthday, Hanukkah, even just a little «love ya» present in the middle of the week rather than the typical cupcake from Crave.
This is some good shopping.

It gets busy during peak hours but if you’re a kid at heart or you have a kid this store is definitely worth a visit. We first spotted the store during a visit to the Galleria for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. The prices are a little steep but I’ve been noticing that about legos lately. That the prices seem to be growing. But it is the worth the occasional treat to drop by from time to time. I went ahead and registered for the Lego VIP card since I know I’ll“ll be back for many more visits. The lego store is exactly what it is, a lego store. There’s nothing overwhelming about it it’s just legos. They do their best to piqué the interest of their customers with cool little models that were built out of legos or a screen that when you put the box up to the images pop out. They also have key chains and a hands on area where you can customize your own lego people. I let my son go ahead and customize his own lego people. A set of three is $ 9.99 which is a little steep but how many people can say that they made a mini legos me? You can choose a face, legs, top, hair or hat and an accessory to go along with your lego person.
If what you’re looking for is legos this store is definitely worth a visit however, if what you’re looking for are toys, you’re better off visiting a Target or Wal-​mart. I imagine this is the equivalent of the Apple Store but for children.

So I was expecting something like the apple store but for legos… but no… not really. It was like a big toy store but just for legos. I came midday on a Monday, there wasn’t a big line, I didn’t even get greeted. The store is very shallow so I could see how with a crowd this place could get very uncomfortable fast. They have buckets against the wall where you can pick and choose lego pieces like candy.
It did bring back memories, the only difference was now, it’s almost 3x as much as it cost growing up. Sorry, legos was supposed to be a cheap imaginative toy, with them costing so much, I’d rather give them something athletic to play with instead.

I’m glad I was only able to visit this store while on a business trip, otherwise I would have surely gone back and bought something expensive. The staff was extremely friendly and are clearly big fans of Lego, and they didn’t make me feel like a 27 year old loser trying to buy back some childhood memories. Store was a little on the small size, but this is the only one I’ve been to, so I don’t know how it compares to other stores around the country.
If only these stores were around when I was younger.

Being knee high in legos purchased at mass merchandisers, toystores, or online, I didnt come to the Lego Store seeking anything specific. But having been to other Lego stores locally and at tourist spots/​cities, I was a tad disappointed in their size, selection, and quality.
This store is actually a bit smaller than the typical Galleria retailer. Churning throughout the little space are kids, parents, and perhaps a few strollers adorned with shopping bags — which makes it a little frustrating to shop along the shelves or keep an eye on a wanderous tot.
I didn’t spot much more than what I recently noticed among a few newly renovated Toys R Us’ Lego aisles/​areas with the exception of a few pricier sets and some Lego-​branded accessories.
The prices were par with other retailers, IMO. In fact, the purchases I made at this and other stores were the same as listed elsewhere (nobody says Legos are cheap).
So, would I dive into the store I hopes of finding a panache of new Legos, probably not. Would I veer into the store to treat the kids on a shopping trip, probably so.

Heard about the opening weekend so I decided to check it out as I grew up a fan of Legos.
This place was mobbed, which I guess is a good thing. It’s nice to see kids excited about legos in a world of computers and tech.
Because it was so crowded I wasn’t really able to look around. Since the store isn’t huge and there were so many people it was getting hot inside, quick.
I wasn’t able to scope out the prices, which have always been a problem with me for a while. I would love the Millennium Falcon set but it usually goes for 500 bucks… which I don’t have the money to spend on legos. Most of the good sets are at least 50 – 100 bucks. But I guess it ranks up their with a new video game and I would probably want my child to use their imagination and be money well spent.
They were also building an eight foot R2-​D2 which you could sign up and help out with.
Overall I’m excited to recheck this place out on a week day afternoon.

Wow! I knew this store was opening but when I walked past on Saturday, I was blown away! The Lego store had a line stretching down the length of the 3^rd floor of the Galleria! It was crazy in the store. I appreciated that they were only letting in a few people at a time, but people were lingering and the place was PACKED! The star wars themed items were really cool! I loved how diverse the Lego brand has become. The full sized Star Wars clone trooper (is that what it was? I’m not a star wars fanatic) was actually really really cool! The huge R2D2 that was being built was pretty darn awesome.
I do wish the store was bigger. Otherwise… it’s SO COOL!

I’m shocked and appalled that the Lego Store in Houston has been open for about a week and no one has Unilocaled it yet! I went to check-​in yesterday and no business was found, so here I am to announce to the world how lucky Houston is! (The official grand opening will be this weekend March 26 – 28!)
The Lego Store is just like the Apple Store.. .but with Legos. Literally. They have the door greeters, walls filled with goodies that are easily categorized, and computer centers for kids to play while the adults shop. And yes, you will shop for yourself even if you’re an adult. (I walked away with an AWESOME Guggenheim set that I completed the moment I got home!)
They have all the oldies but goldies with the original Lego tubs for the nostalgic people. Then they have the boxed sets for kids based on age groups. Then they have the Holy Grail of Awesomeness – the Star Wars section. I fully plan on buying the $ 400+ Millennium Falcon set that is over 7000 pieces big. Oh yes, embrace the nerdiness.
There’s a bunch of cheaper stuff available as well – including key chains and Lego salt & pepper shakers. Definitely stop in and re-​live your childhood!
