First Lego Store in Canada!

[mtmerrick]

i know a lot of you guys will love this news. The Lego Company is now planning to expand their brand stores to a new frontier, Canada. The new Lego Store is scheduled to open its doors sometime this Summer, and those aforementioned doors are going to be in the Chinook Centre in Calgary. If you live in that area, keep an eye on this page
http://stores.lego.com/en-US/default.aspx
for updates on the exact day of opening, and any events that coincide with it.

I don't know where Chinook Centre in Calgary is, but lets hope its close to some of you Canadians.

[/quote]My friend MtM was right when he wrote me in a PM that I would find this interesting. His statement was the biggest under statement in my life to date.

First of all, it wasn't or won't be the first "All Lego store in Canada", the first was about 50 miles north west of where I live, at place called "the outlet Mall". It was on Hwy 88 just off the 400 which runs straight north from T.O.

Interesting, I had bought Lego there for years before my PC days, sadly, they went out of business several months ago.

Interesting point again, and I will share my deepest desire with you Brickers here.

Look to the left, have you ever wondered what I mean in my purpose, "To be #9 in the world".

Only one has ever asked what that meant, he asked "why not #1?"

I replied that there are only 8 Lego Certified Professionals in the entire world, I plan to become NUMBER NINE, and I Have been working on it for several years.

A Lego Certified Pro, (LCP) is someone who through the most rigerous entry exam, qualifies and is gifted to use Lego in their company Logo, to make money in a business. The perks are astronomical. You get almost full disclosure from The Lego Group through contact at the some of the highest levels.

Upcoming models, plans for the future, guidance, help and sometimes FREE LEGO, in large amounts, (I think, though that may be reserved for The Lego Ambassadors, but I think I'm right, havn't read it in a while)

The store in Calgary will eventually fail, just like the Real first one north of Toronto.

Do you want to why? Because they're not gonna set up their store the way I will, which I will, and I won't need to be a LCP to do it,

              That will come after my store is set up, and I'll need only apply once to the Lego Group, because as I recall, if you are refused, you'll have to wait 2 years to apply again.

                                                  My Dream.
