I was lucky enough to attend the pre-opening #AFOL event at the new #LEGO store at Lakeside (Thurrock) on Wednesday evening. I bought the Enterprise Bridge, two boxes of PAB parts, three new BAM minifigures and got lots of freebies. Here is my haul and a couple of shots of the PAB wall. #BlockHeadUK

Several paid-for LEGO sets arranged on a table along with some small sets I got for free at the opening event

The shuttered store just before we were allowed inside.

Pick a Brick wall showing transparent 12 bins with different coloured elements filling each one.
