store lego lgr nice

Here are some details on the LEGO store, which is ultimately not a "real" LEGO Store, which opened in Nice on the second floor of the shopping center Nice Star.

The La Grande Récré brand, which had two sales areas, has reorganized these shops and one of them therefore becomes a space entirely dedicated to the LEGO brand.

This LEGO store is the result of a three-year partnership between the manufacturer and the Ludendo group, owner of the Grande Récré brand. This retail space, still in the process of being redeveloped, is obviously still managed by La Grande Récré, which should practice its usual pricing policy there.

Two pieces of information relating to French LEGO Stores that will interest some of you depending on their location:

The official opening of the LEGO Store in Lyon (Center Commercial La Part-Dieu) will take place from September 23 to 26.

On the menu, the usual gifts offered for the occasion: A collector's box (and exclusive?) Of three minifigs offered from 50 € purchase and the set 40145 LEGO Store free from 125 € of purchase.

Come early, it might get crowded.

In another register, the LEGO Store of Disney Village is reviewing its prices "downwards" and now aligns with the public prices practiced everywhere else in France. The 10% price increase practiced so far has thus been abandoned since September 1.

Disney annual passport holders continue to receive a 10% discount and Cast Members (Park employees) keep their 20% discount.

Note that the designer of the 75104 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle set, Niels Fredriksen, confirmed that he had only worked on the basis of sketches made during a visit to the Pinewood studios in the spring of 2014. The production did not authorize the taking of photos at the shooting location. The excuse is therefore already found for all those who will find that the LEGO product is not faithful to the model of the film ...

Note: the photos in very high resolution are online at my flickr gallery.
