Manchester Arndale Lego Store

[escortmad79]

The Legoland discovery centre isn't an actual Lego store as such & is operated by Merlin Entertainments (Just like Legoland Windsor is). The discovery centre doesn't stock the full range of products like a Lego store does.

Yeah, the Trafford Centre one is a bit of a misnomer...it's purely there to utilise the pester power that must be immense when children come out of the experience. It's a bit like the one at Legoland (and as you say, not owned by Lego themselves) - you might as well go to WHSmiths!

I'm very pleased that it's ended up in the Arndale, as I don't drive, so trips to the Trafford Centre are rare. However, I've always loved going for days out to Manchester City Centre and this is the icing on the cake!

I discovered this to my disadvantage when I found they don't accept the VIP card. Pretty poor do.

The staff in the Arndale store are very helpful I used my Tickets for the Discovery Center at the Trafford Center then went from the Discovery Center straight to the Arndale Center to buy a few things such as the Monster Fighter sets which the Discovery center had none of although they did have the entire range of LOTR but their pick a prick wall consisted of three tubs of stuff while the Arndale store have a wall of about 30 different parts bins plus they were able to give me some of the grey plates they had spare that were not in the wall, Also I picked up two Large tubs which were overflowing so a very kind staff member who wrapped sellotape right round the tub to hold the lids on. Also in the Discovery Center store they had a Build a Fig for £2.50 for one while the Arndale store had the build a fig as buy three figs for £3.50 and had a bigger selection of torsos and heads
