Anyway, since this is threadjacking, has anyone ever heard of https://bricksandminifigs.com/ Apparently they have several brick and mortar franchise stores but the closest ones to us are in MI, KY and CT.
I could swear this was the name of the place I visited a couple years ago, and I could swear it was one of the ones near Portland, OR… but I just Googled the addresses and none of them look right, so unless they moved one of the stores, it must’ve been someone else running a brick and mortar store with a Market Street and a few other (already built) rare big sets, and a bunch of random stuff I wasn’t much interested in…
If I had good business acumen and money, I would totally apply for a franchise for one of these.
