> Lego has stores where you can basically do this already.
Not really. I've been to the Lego Store in Dallas… and while they do have the appearance of "bulk bins" of Lego pieces to buy… in the same vein as buying Brach's candy… it's not like I described at all.
1. The "bulk bins" on display only carry the same sized basic square blocks of various colors sold priced per piece not by weight. Aside from the basic little blocks, there's no variety out for shoppers to brows, pick, and choose from to build anything. The display (which you can see in the screen shot from your linked vid) is clearly not intended for actual shopping… the majority of them being way too high to even be reached. Those that can be reached are just for fondling. Even in the linked videos… no one is buying them. There's no bags to put them in… no one in the video is doing anything but fondling the blocks and then moving on to shop for the boxed kits elsewhere.
2. There is no work station area for you to build your creation.
No one seriously buys scoops of basic primary color blocks sold priced per piece. The displays are there as cosmetic dress-up just to make the showroom feel like a candy store. The real purpose to the store is to sell the box kits.
That's the heart break… how could Lego get SOOOOO close to doing it right… to the point of even making it feel like they almost want to do it… but then entirely miss the mark and don't.
