New Lego Store in Costa Mesa, CA

[Bricksnapper52]

Hey there Orange County members, I'm not sure if you noticed but a new lego store will be opening in South Coast Plaza. It will be right next to Puzzle Zoo, which also sells Lego (at a 10-20% mark up! whoops!)

Will anyone be at the event on Saturday March 12th for the limited edition minifig set?

Yeah, I hope to be checking in at some point. Excited about a new store. Downtown Disney is just to much a pain most days.

I plan to be there with my son when the store opens for the minifig set. I'm debating between picking up sets or taking the time to fill up PAB cups... I guess it depends on how many people show (since the minifig set is limited to the first 300 customers who make purchases over $35).

Hoping they have a bigger PAB selection than Downtown Disney, and like Eldron said, I'm tired of driving out there. Costa Mesa is a lot closer for me.

I know, I know... us OC members are spoiled silly. :P

Please post pictures of the minifigs, I'm very curious, assuming they are specific to the store opening. I did a survey from my Lego Store receipt and it asked if it would be preferable to receive 3 minifigs or a small build (assuming like the mini build)

Oops, sorry I didn't even click the original link b/c I was on my phone and don't live in CA. Those are fun and a great gift for a $35 purchase.

ETA - I just looked at the other store openings in Ohio and Indianna and it seems to be the same figures. I thought the might be unique. In the pasrt they've done a model that represnts that location/city right? Anyway it would be nice if the torsos end up in the BaMF.

There are 3 minifigs: (please excuse the fact that i'm likely not using the proper minifig terminology here):
a female with a white shirt w/ a pink sun and red pants
a male w/ a green shirt w/ a black minifig head, wings and crossbones (I think) and grey pants
and another male w/ dark blue shirt w/a sun and windsurf board and orange pants.

What is interesting is that when I saw these I thought they made perfect sense for a S. California giveaway (especially the 3rd one) but it looks like they are giving away the same ones in Ohio and Indianna. Go figure.
