Cardiff's new Lego Shop

I haven't tracked how much money we've spent in Cardiff's Lego Shop since it opened back in 2008. Over the years we've been in enough times to become friendly with the staff in there. And so the news the shop was moving was interesting to us.

The Shop has now moved - into the unit next door! 

It opened last week. There were huge queues of excited people eager to have a look when I was in town at the weekend. I didn't stop to wait then, but had a look in today.

So, what's new? The window is being smashed by a rugby ball, that reminded me of the famous Rugby World Cup ball smashing into Cardiff Castle. (Maybe it was a homage.)

Inside there is some fun wall art of a crowd at a game. Lots of Welsh touches like a flag and, being Cardiff, seagulls. 

The rest of the store looks a lot like the newer stores that have opened around the country. The pick a brick wall and build a minifigure station have both been updated. 

There was a little 'build and take' giveaway of some crayons. Free Lego is always a bonus.

Overall very little has changed. Its's a bit bigger and there is maybe slightly more display space. It won't take long to get used to it.
