The jazzy new store will act as the brand’s flagship shop, and is the 131st LEGO store to open around the world. Oh, and it’s blimmin’ massive, and filled with all kinds of exciting stuff.
There’s the Mosaic Maker, which takes your photo then prints out a personalised portrait made of LEGO in under ten minutes (you then have to assemble it yourself, so it’s still fun), a six metre tall LEGO statue of Big Ben, and a model of tube carriage. Aaaand there’s also a LEGO minifigure scanner you can peek in at from outside the store to find out which LEGO minifigure you are, digital window displays, and a ‘digital endless aisle’, which is essentially just a posh way of saying you can browse an online catalogue of all the LEGO sets available in the store. It’s also all very British-y. There’s a big mosaic of London’s skyline, plus models of Shakespeare and a beefeater.

We got a sneak preview of LEGO's new Bucket Wheel Excavator at the Nuremberg toy fair earlier this year, but now we have official details on the monstrous set, which will come with over 3,900 pieces, officially making it the largest Lego Technic set to date. Available starting August 1, the excavator stands a mighty 41cm tall and 71cm long with its rotating bucket wheel fully extended.
It lumbers along on working tank treads and includes countless moving features including conveyor belts that carry debris away (or unneeded Lego) and a rotating superstructure. Pricing details haven't been revealed yet, but you can expect the new set to come at a premium given Lego's 2704-piece Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS will set you back $US300 ($396). But for added value, the Bucket Wheel Excavator includes a motor to power all of its functional features, as well as a properly scaled steerable dump truck for your make-believe construction site. Is that still not enough to have you reaching for your credit card? The set also has alternate building instructions to turn the excavator into a slightly-less-exciting Mobile Aggregate Processing Plant. But with Lego half the fun is the building process, and both of these models should keep you busy for at least a few weeks.LEGO is something people just love to play with. No matter if you are a kid, an adult or an old person, if you are able to see, you will love LEGO.
