LEGO have just opened their first shop in Kuwait at The Avenues. According to my friend whom I stole the snapchat screenshot from, he spotted the LEGO Architecture, Star Wars, Friends and Elves series all on display at the shop along with the regular LEGO sets. They also sell LEGOs by the bowl where you get to pick different LEGO pieces and colors like you’re buying jelly beans. If you’re interested, the LEGO store is located in Phase II near the That Al Salasil bookshop.
Thanks @xxmrfarixx

Great addition to the Avenues. Finally something new and not fashion of food related.
Finally! A place where I could hangout in Avenues when my family takes hours to shop for clothes.
Great.
Was at the 360 and they still haven’t opened the Lego store there , Wonder Why ?
This is great news.
this is why i regularly check your blog bro 😀 you post all the right stuff, props to ya. cheers x
Would be really great news if the prices aren’t like those of Toys`r`us (ie double, sometimes triple normal prices). Being an official store, I hope they took that into consideration.
Whilst it is really awesome to have an official Lego store in kuwait, it’s still fairly overpriced </3, I checked the price of a specific set In the Lego store (UCS Slave 1 if anyone is Curious) in the Dubai branch and it costs 109kd, here in kuwait the exact same set costs 144kd, Keep in Mind that BOTH Lego stores in Kuwait and Emirates are owned by the same person (Majjid Al Futtaim).
That sucks! I was really hoping for price to be close to the original price
Any cool technic sets?
And yeah, anyone with confirmed info on the pricing? Are they replacing the $ sign with KD?
The Simpsons House costs 60 KD online and 135KD in the Lego Store. That’s a 125% price increase!
I guess the only pro (despite the price jacking) is that you get sets right away as opposed to waiting for them to arrive in the mail.
It’s quite sad isn’t it? I guess our cheapest option is to just continue to buy Lego’s online Via Amazon :\
Didn’t check for any Technics. Walked out as soon as I saw the prices. What a waste.
Remember when Legos were just toys and not a luxury item?
(either that or I’m too poor to know)
there was an article i read earlier today on how LEGO has been a better investment than gold since 2009

Lol, yeah. I have this LEGO Taj Mahal which I bought in 2011. I got in Chennai for the equivalent of KD120.
Still haven’t opened the box. Similarly unopened ones are going on ebay for more than $4000 now.
I was just at the Store. Mindstorm ev3 250KD here vs 109KD Amazon = Outrageous
This is ridiculous. All the stores are ripping people off in a bid to tap a certain segment of people. Sadly this is economics. I’m sure they’ll come to their senses as this is a non-essential and people who want to get the expensive sets would go the Amazon way – still a major saving with shipping costs.
I visited the shop and the prices are a total scam. Items are at least double the price on amazon. For example ewok village on Amazon is $250 and here it’s 180kd. Avoid if you value your money.
Why do so many people use the word ‘Legos’?
The company is called Lego and they make Lego pieces or Lego bricks.
Seriously. Just don’t!
Anyone know those the agent is for the Lego store?
