Oh god, it's the mothership. A place people like me should stay out of. A place that had better count towards my "Geek" Yelp badge.
I've walked past quite a few times so far...but finally got there when it was open. And the inside is awesome. So many Lego kits, and so many of the crazy ones! They know what they're doing, labeling kits as hard to find - and charging close to $700 for the larger, rarer ones (like the Super Star Destroyer...drool...). Legos aren't exactly cheap. And Copenhagen isn't exactly cheap. So buying Legos in Copenhagen is not a value proposition. But I don't care, I just want to say I bought Legos from the homeland. So I find a smallish kit, something I can get in my luggage, the Sears Tower Lego Architectural kit. A piece of home, but a souvenir of my vacation. Aww. Now, that kit is $25 retail in the US, $18 on Amazon...and pushing $36 here. Wow. And this is really not that striking of a kit. It's not hard to reconstruct a square building with Legos. So I ask someone - do you have anything unique? Any like, Viking kits, or kits for any of Copenhagen's churches or palaces? A Little Mermaid kit? Anything with a local connection?
Yes - we do have something unique...we have a refrigerator magnet of a small figure with a Danish flag on his chest. Cue the sad trombones, this is kind of a letdown. If he had pulled down a $100 kit that was somehow Denmark or Copenhagen related? I'd have bought it in a heart beat. Instead...well, I bought the magnet for $6. But they could have had more of my money. Aside from kits, you do have the ability to buy in bulk from an insane selection of loose pieces, so I guess I could have made my own kit...but it might have taken a while to design in the store.
Ignoring the lack of Copenhagen related kits, they did have good Copenhagen related scenery - several different (and very good) recreations of Nyhavn in Lego, as well as very large models of the Life Guards (with big hats, so the Queen must be in residence) and people on bikes.
It's worth stopping by if you're a Lego person, or if you want to watch a child absolutely melt the eff down with joy. But otherwise it's just a very good selection of standard Lego kits, with a few rare ones thrown in for interest.
