One of the cooler things that the Lego Group has been up to lately is acquiring the rights to work with different franchises. I love the traditional themes, but with some great sets coming out of the recent licensed products, I was stoked to hear that Lego had struck a deal with Disney to create product for the upcoming Prince of Persia film, Pixar's Cars, and Toy Story. Toy Story Legos were the first sets from the deal to make it to retail stores and you can expect to see Lego-ized versions of Buzz, Woody, Jesse, and these little guys right here.

Toys had a different meaning for me when I was a kid. Sure I had He-Man and GI Joes and Super Powers figures, but I didn’t collect them. They were just toys I enjoyed playing with that parents and grandparents bought me. Sometimes I knew who the character was, sometimes I didn’t. It didn’t really matter. I would make up my own names or stories. The one toy line that had the most freedom in creativity was LEGO though. Not only could you name and decide what characters were good or bad, but you could build them anything that your imagination and amount of Legos allowed. This is the toy line I remember playing with most.

Over the last few years, the LEGO company has released something very cool for Christmas: a Lego Advent Calendar. Usually, the tradition is to do a “City” theme, but last year they decided to throw caution to the wind and give us the first ever “Castle” themed calendar. The awesome didn’t stop there either. By that point in production, LEGO was taking their Castle theme further than ever before. They were making it more fantasy based, somewhat reminiscent of Lord of the Rings. With the new Castle theme chock full of knights, dwarves, skeleton warriors, and trolls, this new Advent Calendar would be one of the coolest Lego had ever released.

And then, the awesome hit a snag.

On Saturday, the Itsalltrue.net Crew got up unusually early and headed out to Oklahoma City for the grand opening of a LEGO Store at the Penn Square Mall. I was excited, to say the least. When NoisyDvL5 told me about the store, I knew I had to be there for the grand opening. Before now, if I wanted to “pick-a-brick” or buy exclusive sets I would have to travel at least nine hours. Needless to say, I’d never been to a Lego store before. I'd still like one closer, say Kansas City, but I’ll take what I can get.
