LEGO Stores in France: Your reviews

French territory now counts six LEGO Stores and a seventh official store will soon open in Paris (Les Halles).

The current geographic distribution of these stores does not allow all LEGO fans to enjoy the "LEGO experience" regularly touted by the manufacturer, but I know that a number of blog readers are frequent visitors to the LEGO Stores. existing.

I regularly read your opinions on one or the other of these stores in the comments but I take advantage of the ambient calm on the front of the announcements of products to come to ask all those who visit regularly (or not) in the different French stores to tell us about their motivations and their habits.

What prompts you to go to a LEGO Store? The promotions? Access to exclusive sets that are not (or poorly) distributed in other brands? The Pick-A-Brick wall? Spending time in a space entirely dedicated to the brand? The ability to chat with staff or other customers?

And in the process, if you have an opinion on the quality of the reception and the skills of the salesmen of the LEGO Store that you frequent, do not hesitate to mention it.

If you have any criticisms to make, you can of course do so, but I ask you all the same to be courteous in your words and to avoid the bashing free.

All this obviously has no statistical value and it is just a question of sharing your opinions here with the other readers of the blog and why not make them want to go to an official LEGO store too.

lego star wars magazine march 2016

I have just received my copy of the LEGO Star Wars Magazine for March (N ° 9) and it is not a gift but two which are present in the blister pack: On one side the Naboo Starfighter of 34 pieces announced and the other one snow speeder which was offered with the magazine's # 6 in December 2015.

No mention of this double ration of bricks in the pages of the magazine, it looks like Panini simply has stock to sell on the micro-gadgets offered with the previous issues. According to some comments read on the blog, it would seem that the second sachet accompanying the Naboo Starfighter varies between copies of the magazine.

With the N ° 10 of the month of April, we will be entitled to a Probe Droid of 21 pieces. And maybe a second gift, you never know ...

Below the assembly instructions for the March gift (# 9), the Naboo Starfighter, for all those who would like to assemble the machine using parts from their stock. (Very high resolution version on my flickr gallery)
