    Sounds like after they became an internet sensation they’re making so much more money from larger partners that the overhead of supplying small stores is no longer worth it to them.

    To be fair to me the attraction of independent shops is stuff that you can’t find in any shop in the country.

      Exactly. This is a craze. It will die. They’ll come back in time, this time with a sales rep, to try and get them back instore.

      There’s a reason why Bricks & Minifigs is getting more and more popular. There are only so many official Lego stores around the country, they’re only really found in major cities like LA or Las Vegas, so it’s nice to have something for the rest of the country where you can go and find hard-to-find sets and PAB stuff.
