Legos!!!




Denmark is home of Legos.  We briefly contemplated going to the original Legoland in Billund, but it was going to be a haul and take too much time.  Instead, we found this Lego Store along the Storget.  The whole store is full of legos that I have never seen before: the White House, US spaceships, Tower Bridge, Cars and Toy Story stuff.

The green dragon, a symbol of Copenhagen, twists through the whole store.  The lights look like the circles on the underside of a lego brick.  The mural is of the Radhusplads.  There are scenes, child height, showing various scenes made out of legos, from mice and cheese to butterflies to hamburgers
 and bicycles.

 Will's and Spencer's eyes got big when they saw all the Star Wars legos, including the Death Star, whcih we figured out costs about $669 US.  The US spaceshuttle had a flap that had how many pieces, listed out by what kind with a photo and by how many: it had over 1000 pieces, including 8 tiny squares meant to be lights.

Course they about fell over when they saw the life-sized Darth Vader, complete with cape and a soundtrack.  You can hear Darth breathing and him saying things suchs as, "Luke, I am your father!"
