Bricks and Minifigs — Local services in Southington

I must say that I have had high hopes for this store, however every time I go something happens that makes me NOT enjoy my experience. I went weekly for a while and bought many figures and sets from them. I tried to sell stuff and got low amounts of money for giving my legos. All this is fine- Its business

Then comes the negative stuff. Many times I would be looking through things and a Birthday party is released. Tons of kids run through the store literally taking items out of your hands for themselves. I was there I asked for Harry Potter Lego items. A young girl said, " you can look through this box... which was behind the counter. I looked for a bit and picked items out of it. Once I did... the guy came up to me and snatched the things out of my hands saying. "I was not allowed to be looking through those items." I said sorry and in response to my sorry he reprimanded the girl in front of me telling her she did wrong. I never saw the girl after that. Additionally, I was not allowed to buy the items from the box.

Still that was not enough I returned after doing a DJ trivia night. At DJ trivia a sign said, "Mention DJ trivia and get a free mini figure." I went in and mentioned the sign, I was told that it will NOT work for me... "Only for new costumers." ( I thought to myself... not the ones that have been loyal to you?)

I said to the guy that there was no evidence of that at the bar where DJ trivia was and that if I wanted to I could have simply sent a friend instead of me to get the free figure. His response was an irritated "Jesus Christ get your mini figure!" That is right... I was cussed at for a free lego mini figure request. Which I was told was available to me from the DJ Trivia night.

I have been a costumer here many times and as mentioned prior almost every time something negative happened, but this is the last time. I will no longer visit the store. (And please EVERYONE mention DJ trivia) Least you can get a free figure from the...

They definitely have a large selection of minifigs and a nice array of used (and some new) sets. Prices are what you'd expect to see on the internet, but you're guaranteed that all of the exact parts have been included in the used sets. Nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes. They buy used sets too, but don't get your hopes too high—they're in business to make money. Prices are a little better than the internet for used loose pieces (no shipping costs for example; you can fill a quart or gallon zip-lock bag for a very reasonable price), but you have to dig through large tables with thousands of pieces and probably won't find everything you're looking for (color, size, quantity). Wish they had the Technics pieces in a separate bin. But taking pieces home to use immediately sure beats waiting a week for the parts to come in the mail. Get on their email list for sales and special events. Looks like a very popular birthday destination for boys and girls alike. I'll be going back today for more loose pieces and will be driving 45 minutes to get there. Definitely...

Came here with my son again looking for certain pieces and gifts for the family. As usual, we are always amazed at what they offer! Between all of the Unopened sets (some very hard to find), Minifigures sold individually, the assorted brick tables and the "Create Your Own" Minifigure station where we bought some accessories for your sets we walked out of there with a ton of treasures and a lot of ideas and more importantly, great memories together. I even was having a hard time finding a certain piece and the knowledgeable and friendly staff looked with me for a moment before realizing she may have seen one recently elsewhere. A minute later, she had two of the exact piece i was looking for in her hand! Above and beyond as always! If you are any age, this is a great place to find specific pieces or complete sets if you are a collector or kid alike. DONT PASS...
