The Big Shop

Brian Gaudreault

Largest LEGO store in the west. LEGO, LEGO, LEGO. The store is inside the park, but there should offer a timed access and $FREE parking pass. Annual Pass members get a 10% discount, but LEGOLAND also gives a 5% discount to LEGO VIP members that cannot be combined with the 10% discount. They have unique LEGOLAND sets, plus LEGO-themed accessories not available in most LEGO stores.

You have to buy tickets to enter, do 30 minutes of line, then go out and have a refund. Worst experience ever

Okay this review is all about Mary!! My family and I just had a long two days at Legoland and we always finish out the trip by stopping by the Big Shop! I always get something for the people who helped watch my dog at home and my two boys. Right now, my older boy (4) is all about Ninjago, who can blame him? So we go over to the Ninjago section and he says he wants a Lloyd toy (green ninja). We look through and find 2 Lloyd toys, one for $40 and one for $60, both way too complex for my kiddo, aka too many pieces for me to put together for him to break it after 6 minutes. So, as a standard 4 year old, he's sad that he couldn't find a Lloyd lego toy. As a soft hearted dad, I send my wife and boys off to check out the rest of the store while I search for Lloyd. Unable to find anything else in budget and ability, I stumble across the mini figure stand that has hundreds of packages of Ninjago figures! Though it is a mystery as to which one you will get and I wasn't feeling too outrageously lucky! As I start to make my random guess, I am stopped by an associate named Mary who asked me if I was looking for one in particular. I said that I was searching for Lloyd. She said oh he's a popular one, I know someone who can find him for you. This definitely peaked my interest, I didn't care if I had to go to the back alley to buy a Lloyd mini figure from someone's trunk, I wasn't leaving until we got the green ninja! So she leaves and comes back with another associate named Mary R. who is one of the nicest and kind hearted people I've ever met in a customer facing position. She asked who I was looking for, I told her my son really loves the green ninja. She said, "oh it's for your boy over there? Don't you worry, I'll find him". Immediately, she starts picking up the bags of mini figures and she's feeling the bags out of memory of what's inside and after a few seconds, she tells me which figure that was, explains how she knows and tosses it to the side. She did this for about 10 minutes, going through what must have been 100+ figures. The smile never left her face and she was as friendly as could be the entire time. She found a Lloyd and said, "this is just the regular Lloyd, I know he wants the ninja version. Hold onto it just in case we go through ALL of these and can't find one." She goes back at it and I'm amazed at how quickly she's able to determine which figure each one was. Without realizing it, I say wow out loud. She says, I'm determined now, all I ask is that if I find him, I get a nice big smile (looking at my son). After a few more packages, she looks at my son and asks, "which one is your favorite again?" "Lloyd is my favorite", he says. "Lloyd the ?", she asks. "Lloyd the ninja!" he answers excitedly. "I hope you have a smile ready, because here's your Lloyd the ninja!" Anyone else would've stopped after a few bags, said they were out or especially would've stopped after finding the normal Lloyd. But no, she continued, as happy as could be until she made my boys day. Thank you so much Mary R. You singlehandedly made my entire family extremely happy and put the perfect exclamation point on an already awesome trip!

If you are looking for souvenirs, OR legos, this is a great place to come. Convienient of being close to the entrance/exit of LEGOLAND making easy access for shopping at the beginning or end of the day (which I highly recommend, I don’t shop in the middle of the day due to trying to save as much wait time in lines).
