UK availability of Grand Emporium

[lifeinplastic]

Hi all,

I'm planning on buying the new Grand Emporium somewhere in the London area but cannot get to a specific Lego Shop and not able to order online. Is there anywhere else that will sell this, eg, Hamleys, Toys R Us?

Thanks

Since it's an exclusive, you're unlikely to find it outside of the Lego band stores (Milton Keynes, Bluewater or Brighton). Have you considered buying it from Lego online? It adds a few quid for the postage, but you won't have to travel or search for it.

Cheers,

Ralph: He said he couldn't order it online.

As it's a lego exclusive, it is only available from Lego directly - so you either have to visit a store, order it online, send off a letter to or phone them.

the Adress for Lego shop UK is:

LEGO Company Ltd.

Consumer Services

Capital Point

33 Bath Road

Slough

Berks SL1 3UF

And the telephone number for ordering from the UK is:

00800 5346 5555

Hope this is useful.

Sorry. I obviously should have read the message more carefully.

I have to say, it strikes me as bit weird though. Why would somebody not be able to order on-line? No bank card? Under 18 perhaps. In that case you probably won't be able to order it via the telephone either....

Moreover, even the closet one - Bluewater - will take time and money to get to... I think traveling to Brighton or Windsor will be more expensive... I was lucky - my journey to Bluewater was 5 quid :)
