I must say that I have had high hopes for this store, however every time I go something happens that makes me NOT enjoy my experience. I went weekly for a while and bought many figures and sets from them. I tried to sell stuff and got low amounts of money for giving my legos. All this is fine- Its business Then comes the negative stuff. Many times I would be looking through things and a Birthday party is released. Tons of kids run through the store literally taking items out of your hands for themselves. I was there I asked for Harry Potter Lego items. A young girl said, " you can look through this box... which was behind the counter. I looked for a bit and picked items out of it. Once I did... the guy came up to me and snatched the things out of my hands saying. "I was not allowed to be looking through those items." I said sorry and in response to my sorry he reprimanded the girl in front of me telling her she did wrong. I never saw the girl after that. Additionally, I was not allowed to buy the items from the box. Still that was not enough I returned after doing a DJ trivia night. At DJ trivia a sign said, "Mention DJ trivia and get a free mini figure." I went in and mentioned the sign, I was told that it will NOT work for me... "Only for new costumers." ( I thought to myself... not the ones that have been loyal to you?) I said to the guy that there was no evidence of that at the bar where DJ trivia was and that if I wanted to I could have simply sent a friend instead of me to get the free figure. His response was an irritated "Jesus Christ get your mini figure!" That is right... I was cussed at for a free lego mini figure request. Which I was told was available to me from the DJ Trivia night. I have been a costumer here many times and as mentioned prior almost every time something negative happened, but this is the last time. I will no longer visit the store. (And please EVERYONE mention DJ trivia) Least you can get a free figure from the rude people.

They definitely have a large selection of minifigs and a nice array of used (and some new) sets. Prices are what youd expect to see on the internet, but youre guaranteed that all of the exact parts have been included in the used sets. Nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes. They buy used sets too, but dont get your hopes too high—theyre in business to make money. Prices are a little better than the internet for used loose pieces (no shipping costs for example; you can fill a quart or gallon zip-lock bag for a very reasonable price), but you have to dig through large tables with thousands of pieces and probably wont find everything youre looking for (color, size, quantity). Wish they had the Technics pieces in a separate bin. But taking pieces home to use immediately sure beats waiting a week for the parts to come in the mail. Get on their email list for sales and special events. Looks like a very popular birthday destination for boys and girls alike. Ill be going back today for more loose pieces and will be driving 45 minutes to get there. Definitely worth the trip.

I found this store, right around the time it opened, after Id ordered some "Impossible to Find" items from Amazon; Bricks & Minifigs had got the pieces I needed at a much better price! Here, the staff are polite and friendly, they know the sets, and they take genuine interest both in what their regular customers are creating and in how theyre planning to accomplish the build. If youre a MOC builder, there are always hidden gems in the bulk tables, just waiting to be discovered; be sure to plan for 2 hours to browse through the bricks. Ive moved, so the drive is further than it used to be; however, but its always worth trip because I have never left disappointed or empty-handed.

Any LEGO enthusiast in the area should make this a regular stop. Always good finds in the bulk, and varied selection on old sets and hard-to-find pieces. If theres anything you need or are looking for - ask! Staff are friendly and enthusiastic about the LEGO brand and culture and always willing to help or just chat. Subscribe to their email list - there are good sales around holidays through the year and fun events for kids and AFOL alike.

I came in once, to help support small businesses and I enjoyed my visit and would love to stop in again, a friendly staff awaits for you if you do. Do keep in mind that Legos are often high priced items almost anywhere you shop. I cant argue though that Legos are among the best toys ever made and will probably last against anything a kid might to do to them.

A very nice setup of used and new Lego sets. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend a visit if youre a Lego fan! There is even a partly built Lego city! Stop by and make a mini-figure or purchase one of the rare collectible pieces.

Love this place for bulk Lego and used sets. They also do special events and great sales. If you are local your kids can have birthday parties here too.

Bryan Tichy

Overpriced for newer sets and a limited selection. Otherwise a good place to find some sets as long as you dont mind paying a premium.

Mark Dawiczyk

Absolutely terrible. Everything is over priced. Say something is 20 dollars. It is 40 there do not go there

Kevin Hastings

If you need something Lego related this is the place! And if they dont have it they will find it for you!

Carlos Valentin

Lots of mini figures, kits, and collectors items. A little pricey.
