I find the new Natick Collection Mallpretty useless. Although it’s nice to look at and walk around the new part, I have no business going into any of those stores and can’t afford them anyway. I think the one redeeming business in the mall is the awesome Lego store.
I love Legos. One of the best gifts Ethan ever got me was a limited edition reproduction of the first Lego set I ever had in 1983. I still love looking at all the things you can make with Legos and this store has nice shadow boxes around the store you can look in and see different scenes:
Also nice is the lego parts wall to get any spare parts for a project:
Finally, not metrowest related but if you like Legos, Flickr has some amazing pictures people have taken of Lego scenes from history, movies, painting etc… and is worth checking out: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=lego&w=all&s=int

I used to have to go up to the Burlington Mall for my Lego fix. Now I can pick them up here and go around the corner to The Container Store to get bins to hold them all. *grin*

We’re there just about every weekend. Besides the obviously awesome products, the staff is fantastic. It’s like visiting family now when we get to stop in.

If you prefer to patronize local establishments, try The Construction Site in Waltham. They stock Legos and so much more! http://www.constructiontoys.com/

Yes, I love The Construction Site. They’re too far from metrowest to add to this blog but it is a fantatic place!

Another redeeming store at the “collection” is Spencer Gifts. One of the few places that had been a mall tenant since the original building from ’66. I really miss the Brigham’s that used to be here too; and the one from the Framingham (Lechmere) Mall, and the one from the 9/27 (JM Fields) plaza.
Beautiful Mall, the Collection… but I certainly don’t shop there. Seems like a place suited for people who are mad at their money.
