    I seriously need to take a trip down here, I keep meaning too but never get round to it. Now that I've seen this video, that need has gotten stronger! Great video!

      Glad it's been a useful video for you. It's well worth a trip and I intend to stop in time to time and will likely do a follow up video on the future. Thanks for watching 👍

    Awesome store. Wish I had that much vintage in my store. Only 2 cabinets full of older built stuffs.

    Thanks for the tour. It was fun to see the shop. The Bricks & Minifigs shops over here are all franchises, so they're really hit and miss.

      @@geraldbivens thanks for the comments and watching. I guess the grass is usually greener as we see your Bricks&Minifigs and wish for something similar. But hey ho in the meantime the few hidden gems like Brick traders will suffice for sure 😆

      @@Qone78 Hi, I asked this question to Ben and here was his reply...
      Hi, we make sure we remove a majority of the stickiness off before we stick them on the box and they are high quality stickers as well so as long as they are removed carefully they won't damage the boxes. Particularly on the vintage sets we put a protective cling film wrap just in case and especially because the vintage sets use a thinner cardboard. Glad you enjoyed the store video.

    All the nasty ass stickers all over the boxes that’s ugly and thoughtless really for a Lego seller 🤦‍♂️ . I hope they are not paper .
    Edit: now the brown boxes 📦 for the Lego missing its box is a nice idea but I’d make the boxes yellow 😉 with the ships logo on it in red .

If that shop was mine I’d sleep in the corner Lego robberies gone through the roof . If never leave or it would all go in a vault at night ie a good strong room with a good door.

    Why do they have all those sets on the window? They will all be sun damaged in no time. I would not trust anything else in this store.

      No that's just a shop display not for sale. Everything else inside boxes so no damage.
