Soft Opening for Yorkdale Mall in Toronto is scheduled for May 17. Grand Opening is scheduled for May 31. Hope to see as many of you there as possible. I'll be there on the last day of the Grand Opening (June 2) to help shred the jumbo build, assuming that they doing one since they usually do one with Grand Openings.

Another Store? wouldn't that make three stores and one discovery center?

Basically; Yorkdale, Sherway Gardens, Fairview, and the Discovery Center out in Vaughan Mills.



Pretty justifiable considering Toronto's population.

Well, Montreal has 0 stores and a bigger population than many cities in the US who already have one or two Lego stores. /jealous

Toronto is only a 5 or so hour drive from Montreal, if you want to attend the grand opening.

That's probably because Lego hates the Montreal Canadiens, go Leafs go! I'm kidding but Lego is more important than hockey. *coughsimocscough*

Well you can blame the American market and their business competition for that :P

Hello from Nova Scotia!
I have a question for any East Coasters/Maritimers...
Are there any Lego functions that happen anywhere around here? I always look with envy at people who go to Brickcon and the like... I would love to attend something like that. Or even find a couple fellow brick-heads who want to road trip to one? I wonder if I could somehow visit a jobsite in Ontario so I could call it a work trip and claim the mileage...

Yeah, as Si-MOCs said NovaLUG's pretty much it. They do a display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic each year and occasionally some other minor things. I've heard that the LUG itself is fairly unorganized though, and they don't really do much in the way of meetings, shows, etc. Still, it'd be worth talking to them, I think they've attended Brickfete in the past.

Looks like Sunday May 19th now.   I think there is a reason it is called "soft".

Should call them Sometime Openings. XD

[legomaniac83]

Anyone have details on the Yorkdale grand opening? Will it be a 3 day affair like usual? I am deciding which day to go, and wondering if they are planning to offer something different each day.
Thanks!

May 31st- June 2nd. From what I've heard thus far, it'll be the standard shirt/minifigs/store set on different days with a $35 purchase. See you guys there!
