    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.

    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.

    It is a small world. I have visited this store every time I have been to West Edmonton Mall since I was a teenager. Which hasn't been that often because I don't live in Edmonton. I have bought some of my starwars collection from here.

    What a story! Respect to you and your dad for what you have built up! Thank you for sharing this story; it is heart warming to hear how your family worked all together also in the past. I can see where you have it from, what you do now with your own adorable family!!!

    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 :)

    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 TH-cam. But lastly you need that santas workshop 😂

    Wow! What a great store! I'm a collector, started off with stamps when I was very young. Some coins and later music and movies. I have a lot of LP's, singles, CD's, DVD's and Blue-rays. 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!

    I see cute squishmallow and Nedoroids... I like those next to Lego.. I collected Nendoroids for a while and I want to pick it up again but it's an expensive hobby :) But I feel like that store has a bit of an identity crisis. I mean I see a lot of other things next to coins and stamps. It's cool though :)
