Bricks and Minifigs Building Dreams Brick-by-Brick

LEGO®: The brand name alone brings a smile to the face. It sparks creativity in the mind and a sense of wonder that defies age. There’s no “too young” or “too old” when it comes to enjoying the endless possibilities within. Buying, selling, and trading all things LEGO® branded is Bricks & Minifigs, an ever-growing chain of independent one-stop LEGO® retailers. If you have yet to pay them a visit, their 5,000-square-foot flagship superstore is located right here in Canby, and it is quite the experience! From complete sets to minifigures to accessories and even loose pieces in bulk, their selection is unmatched! And because they are the largest store of their kind, they have the widest selection of new, exclusive, pre-owned and retired LEGO® sets on the market! There is one limitation, and one limitation only when it comes to Bricks & Minifigs: your imagination!

New owners the Kornish family purchased the store in February of this year and could not be more excited or dedicated to elevating this location to new heights. Mike Kornish grew up playing with LEGO® bricks and spent countless hours in this very store! He is an avid collector with an encyclopedic knowledge of the LEGO® brand and owning this location, along with his parents, is a dream come true. Spend five minutes with Mike in the store and you’ll understand: his enthusiasm is infectious! I also had the pleasure of speaking with Mike’s mother Shelby Kornish, and she is equally passionate. She joked that her home has become a veritable museum of LEGO® products, displaying a wide variety of sets, old and new.

And of course at Bricks & Minifigs, it’s not just about buying, selling and trading. They understand that a key aspect of the process is actually getting to play and create! So if you have a youngster (or a youngster at heart!) who loves playing with LEGO® bricks, this is the perfect place to hold a Brick Party! Whether it’s for a birthday or just to get some friends together, at the Canby location they have a special “Party Space” reserved for every occasion! You provide the food and drinks and they’ll provide the LEGO® fun!

Bricks & Minifigs is the premier store of choice for true LEGO® aficionados. They carry many items that can’t be found anywhere else. Like most collectibles, LEGO® sets and minifigures are only available for a short time before being “retired.” If you don’t pick them up in a timely manner, you can miss out. At Bricks & Minifigs, because they are constantly buying, selling, and trading both new and pre-owned items, it’s often possible to find some of those sets you thought would never be available again! In addition, their massive “bulk” bins of loose pieces can help you to complete those old sets you’ve owned for years, but couldn’t display due to missing parts!

This is a locally-owned and -operated business run by passionate people who want nothing more than to feed the imaginations of our inner children. The Kornish family could not be more appreciative of both the local LEGO® community and their amazing staff, “the glue that held things together during the ownership transition.” It’s obvious the minute you walk into the store, with so many bright colors and amazing displays (constantly updated by various customers and staff members) that this is a labor of love. LEGO® toys were first introduced in 1932, and to this day they continue to ignite creativity, encourage interaction, and bring people together!
