A pair of young Lego fans are hoping they can help bring a branch of the iconic Danish toy store to Dundee.
School pals Ross Fenton and Alex Brown have launched an online petition in the hope that bosses will consider opening Scotland’s second store in the city.
Their enthusiasm for the 83-year-old toy is clearly shared by others as 550 people have already added their support.
And there may be some hope for the Grange Primary youngsters as Lego’s customer service team has already replied to the boys with a pledge to consider Dundee in the future.
The boys, who put the petition together with the help of their teacher Guy Findlay, have been astonished by the way their bid has taken off.
Alex said: “There are a lot of people we know who would like a Lego store and we’ve had a lot of support from people on social media,” while Ross added: “It’s really taken off and it’s just been from people talking.”
Alex’s mum Elaine said the boys were desperate to see a Lego store open in Dundee as the only one in Scotland at present is in Glasgow.
“They have emailed Lego so many times and so they decided to start a petition to show just how much support there would be for a shop in Dundee,” she said.
“The boys are just real Lego fanatics.
“Glasgow has a store but that’s just too far away for regular visits and the boys would love to see one closer to home to enable them to carry on collecting.”
The pals have visited Legoland in the past and also used the bricks to raise funds for charity by asking people to guess how many were in their constructions.
The company said it was delighted with the boys’ enthusiasm, writing back: “I completely agree with you guys, a new brand store in Dundee would definitely be convenient for our Scottish fans.
“I think it’s very cool that you have started a petition to make this happen.”
