    Hi Bricksie.
    Thank you so much for sharing your history and background with us. Your parents and the store most definitely shaped you and made you the person you are today.
    I think that's part of the reason why you love showing us Jose and the twins. You are all about family in your business, and that's what makes your channel so unique.
    Keep it up Bricksie. We love it.

    A lot of my collector coins are in 2x2’s I bought from this store in 1990’s. Loved rummaging through the boxes of bulk foreign coins in boxes by the cash register. Thanks for memory lane tour Jordan.

    I actually found you on some old 2+ year old videos from this Store making recommendations on coin albums and protectors and different options to store my Canadian coins. I recognized you and put in a comment on that old video, shouting you out. This make a lot of sense now why I had seen you there. Amazing what your family and you put together in here. I was in West Ed. Mall back in 2012, I remember a store similar to this one, so maybe I visited this store back then. Congrats on your success, never stop looking forward

    Hello sir, I've been watching your videos since I'm 15, and now I just turned 18 this sept 17. I love watching your shopping videos so much information about legos I have learned from you that made me a lego fan. I don't have a lot of lego collections because I can't afford expensive stuff, but your videos giving me unboxing lego experiences I've never had. Thank you so much sir! Keep posting videos like this I love it.

    Loved this episode Jordan! While I was aware of your connection to this store your story has been very interesting! Have loved going to this store even before the LEGO Store came to the mall so was always a destination if I came to town. So getting a description and breakdown was great as whenever I went it was way too busy to stay long or talk with staff. Thank you.
    And have a great and safe trip to Billund :)

    My sister and I went to the West Edmonton Mall this past summer when visiting Edmonton and while we were at the Lego store packing PAB boxes, another customer there told us your parents owned that store, so we checked it out. It is indeed an awesome store and the staff were very friendly and professional! Thanks for sharing your story☺

      Nice one. Cool as .how cool would it of been. Haveing a family with a cool store like that. Add thay might have cool stuff but to make a good amount of Mony every day is the hard part. You just never know how Manny people s come into a store. And cas of the over head costs. Just for a shop plus risk of stock. In the store. An not at home. Insurance $$ plus an like Jordan seed. Their time s where a store might not make much Mony. So in the more Busey munths got to sale as much as you can to cover for the less buyser times. Can tottaly see why. Jordan is the way he is now. Cas of this store .😊

    You need that santas workshop - ask for it for Christmas 🎅 - it’s so so cool that you have gone out on your own venture I have worked with so many people that are bosses sons that don’t deserve what they have have because they don’t appreciate it and work for it they just hang on the coat tails.
    seeing you progress as we have on your channel it’s clear you would have worked so so hard on the collectible store if you hadn’t been busy working so so hard to entertain us all on RUclips. But lastly you need that santas workshop 😂

Actually surprised you’re not into collecting other stuff Bricksie, would have never imagined you had this background. Thanks for sharing

    That must have been amazing growing up in that store. In my 20s I worked in a friend of mom’s comic shop/ book store. It was a blast seeing the new comics and merchandise coming in. I’ve dabbled in collecting so many different things. I’ve slowed down in the collecting. I mostly just collect my 2 favorite things, Pez dispensers and Lego. I did spot one Pez dispenser in the video. As dizzy and blurry as my vision is, I can spot a Pez dispenser anywhere.

Fountain pens and knives also have my attention. And of course Lego! That is since the last two years. I used play with it when I was a kid and later it lost my interest. But now it's back bigger than ever. I would love to take a look in that store but it is a bit far away. 😅 I live in the Netherlands. Great story, thanks for sharing it, Jordan!

    Neat there is the rare devils face dollar, i have some old coins from 1915 etc, 1940s from my great grandfather and a old one dollar bill from my grandmother, and learned about that bill.
    Ill have to go in there because I want to go to the lego store, when my brother and I go for some oilers games, and especially I see aome addias McDavid jerseys, so will have to keep that in mind because is prefer to get one of those over fanatics but the new pro fanatics look good... but the cost
