Wixom Welcomes Bricks & Minifigs: A New Haven for Lego Lovers
If you’ve ever found yourself captivated by the intricate worlds built from those colorful plastic bricks, you’re in luck! The city of Wixom is now home to a delightful new toy store that’s bound to tickle your imagination and reignite that childlike wonder. Bricks & Minifigs Novi officially opens its doors on September 21, 2023, and it’s safe to say that this isn’t just a store – it’s an experience!
Something for Everyone
Located at 49881 Grand River Ave. in the charming Grand River Square shopping center, this new franchise joins a community of Lego enthusiasts of all ages. As co-owner Sean Krabach puts it, “Lego is an ageless toy that appeals not only to children, but also to parents, grandparents, and anyone who enjoys creative expression through those little plastic bricks.” Whether you’re 2 or 72, if you have a passion for Lego, you’ll find something special here.
Walking into Bricks & Minifigs, you’re immediately greeted by *an explosion of color* and creativity. The store houses a staggering selection of Lego sets, thousands of bricks, and a plethora of unique minifigures. There are items on display in cases, bulk bricks in bins, and assembled kits patiently waiting for their new homes. You’ll find everything from new releases to previously enjoyed Lego sets that may have been retired long ago.
A Treasure Trove of Possibilities
What sets Bricks & Minifigs apart is its focus on buying and selling second-hand Lego items. Whether you have a bucket of Legos you no longer use or are looking for that *missing piece* to complete your collection, this store is here for you. Customers can walk in with their old sets and either trade them for something new or simply sell them for store credit—no more hassle with online selling!
It’s worth noting that the prices cater to every budget. You can snag a minifigure for as little as $3, while rare sets might set you back a few hundred dollars. Krabach himself is thrilled to see customers discovering sets from their childhood: “At a store like ours, I can find a set from when I was a kid, something I wanted but never got.”
The Community Connection
Bricks & Minifigs Novi isn’t just about buying and selling; it’s also about community. Co-owner Cara Suksi is eager to get involved and collaborate with local schools and businesses. The team has plans to host exciting Lego parties and various community events that will foster creativity and connection among Lego fans.
With Suksi’s mom, Cathy Drapeau, and nine part-time employees also part of the team, there’s no shortage of expertise in the store. From seasoned fans to newcomers, everyone will find support and guidance in their Lego journey.
Grand Opening Festivities
The grand opening is set to kick off at *10 a.m.* on September 21. The first 300 guests will receive a complimentary custom minifigure torso to personalize their own minifigure—a little creative spark to get the day started!
