This is a brilliant and entertaining watch as always, really appreciate the insight into the shopping experience as a whole and nice that you including the lift up one of the towers as the full experience. Loved it. Jealous that you have one of those mini builds as that’s rather cool. Hope your keeping well.
@@iainsbricks Yeah fair enough, I've only been to two myself so I don't have a lot to compare against. We don't have many stores here in Australia yet.
Car Park Haul lol love it mate. Store looks really nice. Hope you had a nice day, Awesome to get the Battersea Store Opening GWP! cant wait to get the Battle of Endor Brickheadz either. Great stuff!
Thanks. I should have done my haul in the actual shopping centre, but I was with other people and I forgot! I'll be building the Endor set at some stage
Loved that you had lunch afterwards with Fred, was weirdly (or is it sadly) sat watching his vid whilst I am wearing same t-shirt as 2 of you in the vid. I was lucky enough to be bricksets rep at the Birmingham store press/media evening when that opened and oddly via day job also had a tour of Battersea PS a couple of years when it was a building site about to start the transformation, no lift back then it was ladders and scaffolding.
Hi Graham. The lunch was fairly impromptu - myself and Tom, who went up in the lift just happened to bump into Fred and another guy just after we had finished at the lift. We all went back to the Lego store as we could see they were giving out tiles to people who hadn't even bought anything! After that we are all hungry so went fir lunch 😁 Nothing sad about wearing a Lego Tshirt.
Nice trip! The Lego shop opening and gift with purchases were good man. You're braver than I am, I'm afraid of heights so I would have skipped the Lift 109 experience haha. Good to see you had a good time though.
I went here a month late and asked if they still had the miniature battersea powerstation models they gave away, i was even willing to pay for it. Sadly they didnt have the bricks anymore but they did still have the instruction sheet for the build and im already so happy i managed to still get that ^^ i still got it for free aswell
Appreciate the look through the PAB wall, now I don’t need to make the trip :p Rather a disappointing selection, unfortunately. Maybe I’ll check when they change things up.
@@iainsbricks yeah, that’s where I head when it’s not too busy :) But more walls are good, I was just hoping they had some interesting and different stuff in Battersea.
The views look good from the top of the chimney, when I go to that Lego store I’ll have to have a go on that. Was it free to go on that Lift 109 experience or did you have to pay and if you did how much was it?
Hi Barry, it's worth having a wander around the whole of the Battersea complex as it's like a mini city there. Lift 109 does cost £15.90 for adults and you do have to book in advance, but there are plenty of spaces each day. Great views though.
It's pretty much the same products for sale in the Battersea Lego store, however the layout inside has a very different look and feel to it than other stores. No, the Battersea model is not available to buy I'm afraid
i know in the work hr's there's not alot in the shop i am in the recording game and pick up used gear i pop it to lego shops the numbers are down big time say around 10-11 am i used to go to watford one i know why they never reopen it in the day times sell were bad they told me the shop was going along time ago they said they are re working the shops in the town and he was leaving to find a new job he was a boss in the shop and his lady worked for lego as well i have to come from bracknell on the train this why i cut down on parts it all ad up in the end and space is the thing as well i know you drive i find it is better to sell on brick link i was getting stopped all the time by lego fans yes i used to sell alot on line parts at low prices for the one's with no money my site was on fire lego has gone cold now set sell well because star wars i am a blake's 7 star trek man
Hi Bob, thanks for your comment. I've not seen Blake's 7 for ages! Would be good if they did a Lego set, but probably unlikely as it's only probably known in the UK
This was a cool event, was awesome to be there for it. Picked up the a frame cabin, can't wait to build it 😁
Excellent. Hope you got your free gifts as well
Great video. Nice to see the lift and views.
Thanks Tom. It was definitely worth going in the lift
Lego goes very posh thank you sir for sharing much Love fellow brick nerds
Thank you for watching
Oh wow that lift and the view is amazing! What a great time you had!
Hi Caron, yes, the lift was amazing. Very weird to think we were inside the old chimney stack!
Nice haul, you love those brick heads!! And what a view!! Wow!!
Thanks. A lot of people were buying Brickheadz today, especially the Wall-E one. View was amazing
@@iainsbricks I know buddy, loads of people love them … can’t see it myself!! But each to there own!! Enjoy the rest of your day!!
Thanks you for the video! Was looking forward after yesterday’s one. Wish I was there nice PAB selection.
Thanks Fred

Hi Trever, thanks for your comments. A very enjoyable 2 days hanging around Battersea.
Gosh i remember coming here years ago also must be funny for the cleaners to see a giant red brick 😂 woah must have been really busy!
It was very busy early on, but it did quieten down later on.
I really love BrickHeadz 😊
I really love your video 😊
Thank you
Great vid, Iain. See you again at the next opening wherever that may be!
Hi. Great to meet you too. I will definitely be there, wherever it is!
The Lego Brick guy looks amazing. Thanks Iain we love your videos 🎉
The Lego guy costume was amazing
Great video buddy, was also an honour seeing you in person and chatting about the store and Lego in general. Have a bricktasic day Jakob.
Nice to meet you too Jakob. Hope you had an enjoyable day there too.
When my wife’s out of hospital and feeling better we must pay Battersea a visit as it looks great day out.
It's definitely worth a trip. Take your wallet though!
Some good picks. Beautiful looking building. I had no clue it was that old.The view is spectacular.
Thanks. Yes, the original part is almost 100 years old
Cool video mate, I love grand openings there is so much excitement with them. Just subbed
Thanks. To be honest, this wasn't as spectacular as the Leicester Square reopening last year, but still was good to attend this one
@@iainsbricks Yeah fair enough, I've only been to two myself so I don't have a lot to compare against. We don't have many stores here in Australia yet.
Lucky seeing lego guy. Lol
Very cool place.
I couldn't miss that photo opportunity
@@iainsbricksvery nice place.
England really knows how to keep their history alive.
Having worked at Candy Wharf for 17 years and being on floor 32 for 12 years the view of London is always great
Ah, I didn't know that. You can't beat a good view!
Cool what company u work for in canary wharf plus do ulokm at views all day
Great video as usual Iain. Loved the footage during the elevator ascent. Reminded me of the end of the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka
Thanks - it did feel a bit like we were going to be ejected out the top
Car Park Haul lol love it mate. Store looks really nice. Hope you had a nice day, Awesome to get the Battersea Store Opening GWP! cant wait to get the Battle of Endor Brickheadz either. Great stuff!
Thanks. I should have done my haul in the actual shopping centre, but I was with other people and I forgot! I'll be building the Endor set at some stage
@@iainsbricks lol I liked the Car Park, felt authentic 😎 And Footage of LIFT 109 was brilliant also.
@@ShuvzPoker Thanks 😁
Mini pab wall but still nice to see another store on the map 💯
Yes, unfortunately the PAB wall is a bit small, but still a nice store anyway

Thanks. Its always worth going to a store opening to get some gifts with purchase. The lift felt very safe. Excellent views from the top
I went here a month late and asked if they still had the miniature battersea powerstation models they gave away, i was even willing to pay for it. Sadly they didnt have the bricks anymore but they did still have the instruction sheet for the build and im already so happy i managed to still get that ^^ i still got it for free aswell
Excellent. Some of the pieces in the right colour may be difficult to get but glad to hear you got the instructions
That is one well thought out building. Iain what were those orange bricks on the brickwall for the life of me could not make them out on the video!
The transparent orange pieces were flame / fire parts
I hope lego make a large set featuring the power station
It's probably not something that Lego would do unfortunately as it is a bit to specific to London, however, you never know...
Appreciate the look through the PAB wall, now I don’t need to make the trip :p
Rather a disappointing selection, unfortunately. Maybe I’ll check when they change things up.
If you are in London, then the Leicester Square PAB wall is much bigger
@@iainsbricks yeah, that’s where I head when it’s not too busy :)
But more walls are good, I was just hoping they had some interesting and different stuff in Battersea.
Surprised the human minifigure didn't pass out, given the recent heat.
Lol. It kept going in the staff room for a cool down! There was plenty of decent air conditioning there
Did they not have the mini build of Battersea Power Station for you to make?
Hi. That's only available to build for the first 2 hours of opening this coming Saturday and Sunday
The views look good from the top of the chimney, when I go to that Lego store I’ll have to have a go on that. Was it free to go on that Lift 109 experience or did you have to pay and if you did how much was it?
Hi Barry, it's worth having a wander around the whole of the Battersea complex as it's like a mini city there. Lift 109 does cost £15.90 for adults and you do have to book in advance, but there are plenty of spaces each day. Great views though.
@@iainsbricks, Thanks for the info, I’ll have a look into booking so I can plan my day out.
Whst different to other lego stored plus is that battersea model for sale
It's pretty much the same products for sale in the Battersea Lego store, however the layout inside has a very different look and feel to it than other stores. No, the Battersea model is not available to buy I'm afraid
@@iainsbricks cool weres tge nearest tube station as might be there next time am down there
@@jamiesworld1690 There is now a Battersea Power Station tube station which only opened recently. It's on the northern line
i know in the work hr's there's not alot in the shop i am in the recording game
and pick up used gear i pop it to lego shops the numbers are down big time say around 10-11 am
i used to go to watford one i know why they never reopen it in the day times sell were bad
they told me the shop was going along time ago they said they are re working the shops in the town and he
was leaving to find a new job he was a boss in the shop and his lady worked for lego as well
i have to come from bracknell on the train this why i cut down on parts it all ad up in the end
and space is the thing as well i know you drive i find it is better to sell on brick link
i was getting stopped all the time by lego fans yes i used to sell alot on line parts at low prices for the one's with no money
my site was on fire lego has gone cold now set sell well because star wars i am a blake's 7 star trek man
Hi Bob, thanks for your comment. I've not seen Blake's 7 for ages! Would be good if they did a Lego set, but probably unlikely as it's only probably known in the UK
