Hey all,
i'll be visiting the Frankfurt Book Fair (middle of october) and while I'm
in town, I'd like to pick up some Lego. Any recommendations where to go?
It's my first time in Germany.
Especially looking for places where i could get some good prices. Since I'm
limited time- and budget-wise, I'd like to plan ahead.

Is the Lego store worth checking out?
Is Smyths good?
How about general retailers? Any deals to be had there?
Is there a place I can get used Lego?

Tried googling these questions, but haven't had any luck...

Also is there a way to filter Bricklink store so i can find Frankfurt stores
with local pickup?

Thanks all,
best,
Peter

I would suggest the factory store at LEGOLAND Germany, apparently that place
is meant to be amazing but its probably too far away from Frankfurt by the look
of it.

Depending on where they live in Slovenia, Frankfurt is not that much closer to
LEGOLAND Germany than, say, Ljubljana. However, it is sort of on the way if they
are driving to Frankfurt.

I'll keep the idea in mind, though I'm not driving alone and I won't
be able to have much say regarding the route. I'll have an afternoon or two
to myself in Franfurt.
