On a feline note Jen

PAB has quite a lot of colours but only standard bricks really, not many speciality items (the most special it gets are the little clear slanted 1x1 pieces, if that makes sense, and roof tiles! Hoping to get more in the coming weeks though). We do have some steering wheels, tiny benches, windshields, flagpoles/car antanae and some tires and wheels but that dont fit the chassis that are there There is a lot of 2x1 tan plates and some standard bricks but I cant remember what size exactly, I am going in later today so will find out for you. The BAM is extremely popular so its advised to arrive as soon as the store opens, its quiet for about the 1st hour on a weekday (school holidays, dont know what it'll be like when kids go back) and half an hour to an hour of a weekend. I imagine the grand opening will pull in a large crowd from early on so anyone visiting for a look at the BAM would be best arriving early. As for parts, the heads are pretty standard with a few different faces: glasses, smiles, beards and then there was the odd skeleton head and also a blue masked wrestler head which had a matching body and legs, he was quite popular and there's not much of him left! The bodies again are all present in great numbers so nothing seems too scarce, theres shirts and ties, blazers, plaid shirts, space pilot bodies, and some plain colours as well. Legs tend to be just a solid colour the last few days, though there are some cheerleader legs and desert island style legs which are printed. Also, a few skirts have appeared in brown and black but not many. The accessories are the most exciting part I think, we've had bananas, halberds, samurai swords, briefcases, laptops, fairy wands, pneumatic drills, handcuffs and shiny metallic swords to name just a few! The weapons(especially the shiny swords) go super quick so again, the early bird gets the worm! I think the MMMB is on the 2nd thursday of every month, but again will double check that when I'm instore later on. Yeah were pretty sure theyre just gonna have the black t shirts with lego store liverpool on them but a set of the beatles would be too amazing for words! Jen

Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong place or is a repeat I had a search around and couldn't find any information already on here so I hope I'm not repeating anyone! Just to let all you UK'ers who are closer to Liverpool than the other stores, the Grand Opening is Friday 9th, Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September with special gifts with purchases over £20. All the info is on the website as follows : The LEGO Store in Liverpool is celebrating its opening with a 3 day Grand Opening event and is looking for your help to build the biggest LEGO display inspired by your favourite Liverpool landmarks! In addition everyone who attends can enter our raffle and guess the number of bricks in the giant display for the chance to win an exclusive LEGO set! Plus the first 300 customers to shop for £20 on Friday will receive a LEGO City Police Motorcycle and the first to spend £20 on Saturday will receive a 'limited edition' LEGO minifigure t-shirt with purchase exclusively designed for the opening days. The first 300 customers to shop for £20 on Sunday will receive a unique and exclusive set of minifigures. Just thought I'd mention it in case some people hadn't seen the website recently! Also, if anyone hasn't been yet the store has been open just over a week and is well worth a visit!! Jen

Hi guys, I'm Jen from Liverpool, not been into Lego for very long but getting absolutely addicted to it (especially the minifigures!!) decided I need to know more about the world of Lego and here seemed the best place to join to get a proper education in it!! I'm also trying to get my posts count up so I can change my dp, a male silhouette isnt very flattering! Jen
