Crowd gathers outside the Lego store in Stuttgart: reasons explored
Lego Store in Stuttgart Hosts Popular "Make and Take" Event Featuring One Piece
The Lego Store on Königstraße in Stuttgart is once again hosting its "Make and Take" event, this time with a theme inspired by the Japanese anime series, One Piece. During these sessions, customers can assemble a five-centimeter version of the Gum-Gum Fruit from One Piece and take it home for free.
The "Make and Take" events have been a staple at the store since its opening in 2021, attracting a large crowd, especially on Wednesday afternoons. The events' popularity is due in part to a special promotion that offers customers a free, pre-designed LEGO model to build and take home. This hands-on experience, combined with a free souvenir, is particularly appealing to children and LEGO enthusiasts alike.
The store's central location and regular hours from 10:00 to 20:00 on Wednesdays also contribute to the large attendance. Additionally, themed promotions, such as the One Piece event, further increase the appeal and crowd size.
Previous themes for the "Make and Take" event in Stuttgart have included Star Wars and a miniature version of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Neuschwanstein Castle.
For those who missed out on the One Piece event, fear not! Fans have another chance to participate on Thursday from 3 to 5 pm. For those interested in the upcoming Z-Blob event, the dates can be found on the Lego store's website.
It's important to note that long lines are not uncommon during the "Make and Take" events in Stuttgart, according to an employee. So, if you're planning to attend, be sure to arrive early to secure your spot!
Participants at the Lego Store in Stuttgart can also immerse themselves in other themes besides One Piece, such as fashion-and-beauty with a miniature makeup set or home-and-garden with a tiny living room diorama.
For food-and-drink lovers, the store might host a event featuring a LEGO version of a famous restaurant or a delicious dessert one day.
Travel enthusiasts could potentially assemble a miniature version of a famous landmark, like the Eiffel Tower or the Sphinx, in future "Make and Take" events.
