ResIpsaLoquitur Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) So I found this shop, Bricks, Galore, & More, that's almost literally around the corner from my house. Apparently their business model is to sell sets at a reduced price but without the minifigs. (They sell minifigs separately, and my guess is they're doing well on that.) It seems like a weird-but-interesting business model. I guess if AFOLs wanted a complete set of something for the parts and could live without the figures, this could be a good source for discounted sets. I wouldn't normally buy a set without the figures, but I would like to get the Lone Ranger Stagecoach for a custom project, and I otherwise have no interest in the figures. Apparently, they can sell me the set for $10 without any figures or horses. That sounds fine by me. Anyway, spreading the word! Edit: Groan. I can't believe I put "inexpensive" in the wrong part of the title. The internet is killing my grammatical ability. Edited May 29, 2013 by ResIpsaLoquitur
RaincloudDustbin Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Meh... There seems to be cheaper options on Ebay- many thanks for the link.
Hive Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I was sceptical going in, but after looking at that site it does seem like they have some pretty good prices beating most anything on Bricklink. I would definately hit up Escape from Mirkwood Spiders for $10 if this shop wasn't on the other side of the world.
Sid Sidious Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 It seems like an interesting business model, but it could be helped by proofreading the website, and putting their address on it. I could only find that they are in western Maryland from the 301 area code.
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 It seems like an interesting business model, but it could be helped by proofreading the website, and putting their address on it. I could only find that they are in western Maryland from the 301 area code. Eastern. Well, I guess it's "eastern" based on the fact that, to me, western Maryland would be out in Frederick or near West Virginia. I guess "eastern" could be the eastern shore over the bay. Anyway, it's located in Crofton, which is roughly equidistant from Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis, if that helps. It's actually becoming weirdly Lego-centric around here: there's a Lego-play themed store opening near Annapolis this weekend, we have a Lego Store at the Annapolis Mall, and there's another Lego Store about 25 minutes away at Arundel Mills. And that says nothing of the dozens of Targets in the area and the lone Toys R' Us across the street from the mall.
