<cliché>I ordered the Lego Corner Café for the office.</cliché>

I literally waited a day before pulling the trigger on getting it. Because it was a $130 “luxury” that we don’t need? No, because I felt like such a startup poser. In the end though, the awesome coolness of the Lego Corner Café won me over. Screw the stereotype… Lego is cool.

If you’ve ever been to Legoland (Southern California, Windsor, Denmark, etc.) then you’ll have noticed that the construction of the mini-cities in each park is of a different caliber of lego construction altogether relative to the models you can typically buy in the store. There is a scale, level of detail, and thoughtfulness around reliability that simply doesn’t exist in the typical Lego kit.

The Lego Corner Café looks like it came out of one of the sprawling Legoland city models, and the set is only available online. Additionally, it’s designed so that you can put together multiple sets and create even larger buildings with relative ease – basically each floor of the structure is almost a meta-lego block on its own fitting with other floors from the same kit.

I was going to wait to blog about this until I’d actually finished constructing it, but I’ve only gotten through the first floor given how busy things are around here. So who knows how long it will take to finish.
