My son has recently started to build Lego sets and we came a across a missing piece. In an effort to avoid the 10 day shipping time to have a part shipped to you we decided to take a drive to the Lego store to see if the part would be in the store. It wasn't. This would just be the start of our experience. As we were digging through the bricks trying to find what we needed Heather approached and asked if we were looking for anything in particular. I pulled up the 2 missing parts from the Talking Sorting Hat and she explained that they wouldn't have the pieces in store. Then explained the process to obtain missing parts, which I greatly appreciated even though I was aware of this, and then when I said we were hoping to avoid the wait...she walked to the back where the store had an assembled Hat and took it apart to get the pieces for my son! What amazing customer service, completely and totally unexpected! We did browse the sets as well and I will say that some prices are right in line with big box stores and Amazon, others are on the higher side. That being said being able to browse all these sets in one place is an experience in itself. We will definitely return and purchase the next set from the store simply because the customer service is unmatched. Thank you Heather for making this an easy, painless process.

The customer service here is outstanding, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always available to assist. The store is well-lit, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. It's also impeccably clean and organized, making it easy to navigate and find what you're looking for.One of the highlights is the impressive selection of new LEGO sets, ensuring there's something for everyone. The store is well-staffed, so you never have to wait long for assistance. However, one area for improvement would be adding seating for parents who are waiting, which would make the experience even better.Overall, this LEGO Store is a fantastic place to shop for LEGO enthusiasts of all ages.

I got my very own set of personalized stationery when I was 13 and thought I was THE SH*T (Reader: I was, in fact, not.). My first job was at a gift shop and my favorite part was wrapping presents. Walking into Broadway Paper was like going to Mecca. HUGE selection of gift wrap. Gorgeous pens all in a row. Stickers. Notebooks. Plushies. Gifts for everyone on your list. Wisconsin merch. Everything is so colorful and happy. I could have easily gone broke in there but limited myself to a handful of cards, a Christmas ornament, and a vinyl sticker. I thought the prices were fair -- I've seen similar cards on Etsy for the same price. I would 100% come back here next time I'm in MKE.

Last week I went in to buy some Easter candy for the kids' Easter baskets. They have an old fashioned candy counter. One of the gals assisted me with countless bags of old fashioned candies. She hand tied each one with ribbon, and was cheerful and upbeat. I wish I could remember her name so I could thank her. I also found bags of retro Easter grass--the shiny raffia kind reminiscent of the version for the 70's! They have toy department downstairs, and I'd recommend venturing into the basement just to experience it. If you have kids, this is a treasure trove of unique offerings.

I had a flashback to my childhood, walking home from elementary school and stopping at the small store on the corner to buy penny candies and other goodies like banana flavored Now & Laters or candy cigarettes. I had to go into that store. Luke R. and Rachel F. were walking by. I pointed out the penny candy sign, and the four of us went in to explore. We found video boxes on display, shelves of candy galore and a fridge with sodas, not a commercial fridge but one like we'd have in our homes. I felt like I went back in time. I think we all did because we giggled and bounced around the store like we were kids! Did I buy any candy? You're damn right I did, and I'd go back and do it again!

They had those styrofoam-y UFO things that seemed questionable, sixlets, candy cigarettes, bubble-gum cigars, all the lemonheads/boston baked beans/etc. you could think of and so much more... Also: DVDs, if you're into that sort of thing. Also: pinball, if you're into that sort of thing. Also: a doll collection behind the counter, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not really sure how this place still exists as a business, but hey! I like it. It's weird. Good stuff, you guys.
