Off To Tru

Posted by GregF on Dec 15, 2006

Every year at this time, LEGO employees travel to Toys R Us stores all over NY, NJ, CT and MA, helping out store personnel and customers seeking LEGO sets. This year, staff writer Daniel Lipkowitz and I get the fun of working at the Toys R Us Times Square store in Manhattan. We expect it to be hectic, as we'll be there the 18th and 19th!

This has been a fantastic year for LEGO sales, so I don't know how much will still be on the shelves --people are buying sets as fast as our manufacturing folks can make them! We'll see, though, if any place has the newest stuff, it will probably be the Times Square store.

So I will be away from my computer Sunday through Tuesday - if you send PMs during that time, just be patient, I will get to them when I am back.

A great way to promote BIONICLE sets as a whole and keep the franchise alive!

Sure wish the same thing happened to the books, though.

Anyway, have a lot of fun when you're there, Mr. Farshtey!

You're not missing much -- it's not like I am doing a signing there. It's purely standing around asking people if I can help them find the LEGO sets they're looking for, etc. Basically, doing the same kind of stuff a store employee does at this time of year.
