What will Lego think of next? I had a chance to get a look at their Rockefeller Center store a few days before it opened and BOY is it COOL! A wall of Legos, a variety of sculptures mostly specific to NYC and a computer station where people can print out inspiration for designs – yes, this store has it all.

Oh my gosh, that is the coolest freakin' thing EVER. My son would go crazy over that. So now if I ever get to the city, I will HAVE to bring him along. The kid eats, sleeps and breaths Legos (and airplanes). LOL You have no idea how lucky you are to live so close to NYC!
