40305 - LEGO Brand Store

A good looking little promo. Should pair well with the already released VIP promo polybag. Will fit nicely into a city. Pick a brick wall looks nicely done.

Since it's not an expensive UCS set, we can assume that these are all printed tiles and not stickers.

Any guesses on what the spending threshold will be on this one? I'm thinking $125

The VIP polybag had stickers.

i bought the UCS snowspeeder and it has 35 stickers. That's unacceptable!

i bought my son a £4 duplo set. It had 6 bricks and two of those had detailed printing with one have printing on both sides. So if a £4 set can have 3 printed sides then there's no excuse to ever use stickers... the argument about the cost is BS.

Yes, it is stupid - but apparently LEGO management must believe that people really like stickers.

It's just one of the many things that belong on their very long list of stupid.

I own a sign/print company and I confirm that direct printing to substrates in volume is cheaper, easier and more reliable than bloody stickers!

LEGO seem to have no business sense whatsoever and don't listen to their customers.

Producing yet more utter junk like Unikitty figures just tells me how desperate they are.

C'mon LEGO, fire your upper management and bring in some talent for once! Or... go under!

Thanks, that has stopped me buying a UCS snowspeeder. I was waiting for a big discount, I'll wait no more.

Is this self parody? Lego selling sets of Lego shops....

Sets of Lego shops with a lot of money in the cash registers - aka hoping for a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Have you seen high-end model kits?  They have tons of stickers.  And not the self-adhesive kind either.  

The primary complaint I have about stickers from LEGO is they don't have clear backing.  A white backed sticker on a white LEGO piece will look off because they're not the same color of white.  It would be better if the stickers were clear backed.  Then they would always look good regardless of what color LEGO they're applied to.

The one place I really dislike stickers though is a canopy.  Then again, it is a testament to the skill of the builder to get such a sticker right.

My guess is at least $125 to get this promo if not more. Also, I don't like how it doesn't include a minifigure in an employe outfit.

You have enough of them in  new Roller Coaster

[tacsniper]

hmmm looks familiar... oh I remember... it looks about the same as the one from City Square 60097 that just retired!! Whats next Lego? Might as well just do a set of the tram so people don't need to dish out $200.

needs to have a partial cardboard element to really shine...

The ultra-micro Fire truck is pretty cool, but
I’m still looking for a helicopter.

Besides being cheaper to manufacture, they like stickers because people "F" them up and they don't last, thus extra sales.

They are here. Purchased at the Disney Springs Lego Store. They were 1 per customer, but I had my wife and son with me so they let us get 1 each.
