Welcome to the grand opening of the Grand Emporium!

The LEGO® Modular Buildings series continues with this spectacularly detailed 3-story department store, designed in a realistic scale with lots of special building techniques and rare pieces. On the street outside, citizens carry shopping bags, send letters at the mailbox, admire the window mannequins, and cool off at the ice cream stand while a busy window washer works above. Enter through the revolving door to discover a ground-floor clothing department, complete with a cash register, fitting room, hats, jewelry, perfume, and even a selection of spare trousers. A brick-built escalator carries customers to the second floor housewares department with glassware and golden plates for special occasions, and then it’s up to the top floor for the toy department (complete with toy house and push-scooter) and a great big chandelier above the open atrium. Up on the roof are a billboard and skylight. Includes 7 minifigures and measures 15″ (38 cm) high and 10″ (25 cm) wide. Ages 16+. 2,182 pieces.

    Legos Website is still saying March 19th. I happen to be off from work on Monday. Do you think the Lego Stores will have it on the 1st?

    @squall15: LEGO has confirmed that the date on the site is incorrect. We’ve also heard from LEGO Store employees who say it will be available there on Monday — though we always appreciate when people click through from here when buying, which helps pay the bills. ;-)

    You guys are awesome, thank you for the quick response. Its hard for me to find time to build, and if I can get this locally on my day off that is what I need to do. But I assure you that going forward I will be clicking on this site before I buy anything. Thanks again!!
