The Brick House: A Lego Store in the QC

There are loads of LEGO® sets, minifigures and pieces to dig through and admire. You’ll also find great events for LEGO® lovers. Our family had a ton of fun digging through the LEGO® products and playing in the “Kid Zone.”

Tuesday - Friday from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Saturday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Buy LEGO® Products
Inside you’ll find both new and used LEGO® sets. Our boys loved seeing some of the olders sets for sale we haven’t seen anywhere else. They are displayed in plastic cases so you can check out the quality and see what pieces are there.
You can buy a single brick or a bunch of various bricks. There are containers of loose bricks for you to comb through and select. They also have individual hard to find pieces you can purchase to finish out a project at home.
Get unique and fun minifigures. The counter display (and other areas of the shop) offer fun minifigures for a variety of prices. Our boys got star wars figures, Scrooge McDuck and some kind of ninja. You can also have fun testing your luck with the minifigure “gumball” machine.
The Brick House has gift certificates: a great way to get the LEGO® lover in your life a present and shop local!

The Brick House will accept LEGO® products in almost any decent condition (“besides glued, chewed, covered in goo or mouse poo”). Whether you have a large collection or just a few minifigures, they are interested in seeing it and offering you a price. They will even take DUPLO® items.

Have fun with LEGO® Products
In the store there is a LEGO wall and play area set up to have some fun while you’re browsing.
The owner really knows her stuff and it's fun to “talk LEGO® ” with someone that is excited and knowledgeeable about sets and pieces. I loved hearing about some of the favorite sets they've had come through the shop. It must be fun to get a big collection and get to dig through and put them together again for display!
The Brick House offers a variety of fun lego events.
Friday Night Figs is a minifigure trade-in night every third Friday of each month from 4-7 p.m. Trading with others begins at 4 p.m. and trading with the store starts at 5 p.m.

We have four boys ages 5-12 and they all love LEGOs. We aren’t quite ready to part with any of our sets yet, but I know where we can go when we are! Every day for weeks, my 5-year-old asked to go to The Brick House and we never had a chance to stop. When we finally went there, we spent almost an hour playing and having fun checking out all the sets they have on hand.
Find a few minutes stop by, pick up some LEGO® products you “need” or a gift certificate and check out some of the lego themed items in the shop such as flashlights, cookie cutters, and more!
