My photo is not sideways, sorry. I'll try to fix when I get to a pc.

Clicking through the image displays it properly. :)
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
was there something broken that needed fixing? Seems like this would cause a bunch of no shows.

New: Pre-registration for monthly mini-builds @ Lego Store
So the Lego Store was making sure everyone in line knew that beginning July, I think, they are changing over to a pre-registration format for the monthly mini-builds. I don't know why they've implemented this or what they hope to accomplish aside from making things "less hectic" as one employee put it. There was signage up in the store speaking to the change as well. The way I see it, people will just be pre-registering online and still showing up to make the line. Hmmmmm...
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
Interesting... I'm torn. On the one hand, I say good because we've shown up just as they ran out in the past a few times and it's a disappointment. On the other hand, however, I say bad because we don't always know how many we'll be on the day of - sometimes it's just my daughter, sometimes it's my daughter and her two friends, and it's hard to coordinate ahead of time.

plus the random "spur of the moment" trip to a family's local mall on the right day. I'd hate to see a little kids not be able to participate in something cool at a store because they didn't know to sign up in advance.

If it means I don't have to build it and just grab one and go then it's cool.
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
I love it! I took my daughter and a few friends to one of these and had to wait 2 hours in line. Haven't bothered since. I'll definitely go again if I can schedule dinner and other shopping around it instead of blowing my entire evening.
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
I think a hybrid of the previous way and this would be ideal, where reservations are taken, but walk-ups are accepted as well.
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
Since the beginning of the year, Lego allowed you to take the set home if you didn't want to build it there. We always stay. Last month they ran out of sets. By doing a registration, they can guarantee that they cover the regulars and should stock a few extras for walk ons.
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
We do something similar in our training classes. Customers have to register in order to attend the classes. We permit walk-ins only if the class isn't full. It is more sane that way and we aren't scrambling or wasting extra course material or sending people away.
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
I've never had a chance to take my kids to one, its an hour drive not counting that its during rush hour to get to the store. If they have to have the set I'll bricklink it.

Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
I like the fact you can per-register and be guaranteed a mini model. At my local store,there were people starting to line up at 2:30pm, when it didn't start until 5pm. If you showed up at 5:10pm all the cards would be gone.

What about the poor people who don't have internet? How are they going to get one? Watch out LEGO, here come the demonstrations.
Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
Re: Change to Monthly Mini Model Build starts July 2015
I'm sure you can register in person in the store as well as online.

I think this is a great idea as I have heard the horror stories. They should have it until like 7pm, then if they have left overs the people waiting in line can come get the extra.

What do you mean people who don't have internet? Those still exist? Doesn't everyone have a phone with internet access now? It's 2015anakinisvader wrote:What about the poor people who don't have internet? How are they going to get one? Watch out LEGO, here come the demonstrations.
