The Big Shop is Lego heaven unless your kids are tired and losing their minds at the end of a long…read moreday at Legoland. Then it can kind of become Lego hell. I can't complain too much, though, as the promise of a toy store at Legoland allowed us to bypass the San Diego Zoo shop without incident. It was also a legitimately fantastic place, with an enormous, thorough inventory. I'm an adult Lego enthusiast, and I enjoyed seeing all the sets I'd ogled online. I saw several I wanted to buy, as well a few Lego-themed jigsaw puzzles, but I controlled myself. We were there for the boys, who were allowed one item apiece. Our sons are four and two, and they both went for the same stupid giant light-up sword within seconds of reaching The Big Shop. The Lego Group knows how to make money, and they know what they're doing putting these swords right at the entrance to their theme park gift shop. The swords dangled from two sides of a display stand, and one of my kids went left while the other went right, both of them drawn to the swords like Gollum to the precious ring. I didn't want to go home with two loud, cheap, plastic swords when we were surrounded by wonderful toys, and I managed, with great effort, to divert their interest and return the swords to their racks. I showed our four-year-old Leo all the cool Lego City sets and he picked a fire station before seeing the larger, more expensive Command Rover and Crane Loader. I was happy to pay for this, as it looked fun and was not a light-up sword. We got our toddler Wade a Duplo brick box that came with almost 100 bricks and a cute container, where we'd be able to stash all the Duplos already floating around our house. We paid for these toys, then instead of being grateful and happy, Leo threw a full-blown tantrum over the fucking sword. We held our ground, but it was a tough one. We had to carry him crying to the car. We were at Legoland with our friends, who also have two boys, and when we told them about the sword, the other mom said, yep, we have one of those. Turns out she'd had the same experience with their older child--denying the sword, facing the wrath--who then came back to Legoland with his grandparents and returned home with the sword in hand. Truly, the Lego Group is evil for this one. Our purchases have panned out, though, and I believe both boys are enjoying them more than they would have out the shiny but ultimately useless swords. Leo and I spend days building that rover, and it sparked a general interest in Legos, which has been a very positive development for me. Wade loves his Duplos, too, and is constantly playing with them and announcing, "I'm making a building!" Not a bad outcome, all told, and I look forward to our next visit to The Big Shop. We'll just have to get ready to vanquish those swords again.

I go to a lot of comic book shops and Comics-N-Stuff has the potential to be great, but just…read moredoesn't have the organization to get there. They have multiple locations and each one is packed with fun and interesting stuff. They have everything a comic fan would want. Comics, trades, shirts, figures, statues, etc. Problem is each store is just unorganized with memorabilia all over the place. It's hard to find things and stuff is out of order. There isn't a logical layout. The other thing that bugs me is pricing on stuff is just inconsistent or wrong. I understand marking things up for the person who might not be familiar, but you are only hurting your store in the process because like most retail shops people will just opt to buy it cheaper online(or find it for less at a different place in the mall). Also, there is dust everywhere. I'm sympathetic that they probably don't have the staff to keep everything tight and that the store can look disheveled due to all the foot traffic, but show that you care! They moved to a smaller location in the mall and the store does look better than it did, but the fact that Ninja Exchange is right next store and is wildly popular on the weekends should make Comics-N-Stuff take a long look in the mirror. They could be getting a lot of the Ninja Exchange people Monday-Thursday if they capitalized. Running a business, let alone a comic shop, is difficult in this day n age. I will stop in to try to support every now and then, but it is hard when you get the sense that the love isn't there.

Bricks and Minifigs offers extremely low prices when buying from customers, often far below what…read morethe sets are actually worth. Unless you're desperate for quick cash or don't know the value of your collection, it's hard to justify selling here. What makes it even more frustrating is that the same items they purchase for dirt-cheap prices are then resold at premium prices. Everyone understands a business needs to make a profit, but the gap between what they pay sellers and what they charge buyers feels excessive. If you're looking to sell LEGO sets, I would recommend checking online marketplaces or doing a little research on current values before bringing anything here.

And today, I still have that wonder and creativity that attracts me to LEGO and its abundance of creativity for anyone young at heart. It is so much fun to build with LEGO bricks!!! The LEGO community has expanded exponentially with the help of Social Media and places like Bricks and Minifigs in Oceanside. Don't let the humble entrance deceive you because once you enter you will transported to a place full of wonder and amazement of LEGO. There's a great selection of LEGO products and so many mini figures. You can spend a lot of time here just looking and admiring the vast selections. Found LEGO keychains and was able to sign up for their rewards program. Look for them on Instagram. What will make me return again and again is the knowledge and experience of the staff with LEGO. They are aware of the LEGO community and have their thumb on the pulse of the community. I had a great conversation with Will, a manager at Bricks and Minifigs. I was impressed with his knowledge and understanding of how LEGO has evolved and impacted so many generations of people. He was very passionate about LEGO and I appreciate his warmth and friendly perspective. I look forward to receiving the emails about future events. I will return!!!
