Some surprisingly awesome new from LEGO UK this morning, two new LEGO® stores are set to open in the UK ahead of Christmas this year. Both Birmingham and Southampton will be home to official LEGO brand stores (although they are known as those anymore, more on that soon). Finally there will be one a little closer to where I live, still a trip but certainly closer those of us in the Midlands. Learn more about the two new stores below.
