Huge Edinburgh queues spotted as locals descend on St James Quarter shop

A massive queue was spotted outside the Lego store in Edinburgh's St James Quarter over the weekend, following a release of some new products.

In a video posted on Snapchat's Maps feature, the queue is shown snaking from outside the Body Shop store all the way to the Lego store entrance.

The Snapchat user captioned the video: "The queue for the Lego Shop", alongside a uncomfortably-smiling emoji, as families and Lego-lovers stood waiting in the astonishing queue.

The popular toy store, which has 19 locations across the UK including the capital, tends to see queues snaking out of their establishments often.

The queues tend to appear when there are new releases of products, which happen in various months across the year. This month, there were 17 brand new Lego sets released, including various Star Wars sets in honour of May the 4th.

Sets included the likes of the X-wing Starfighter, the Mandolorian Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor and two brand new Lego Disney sets to celebrate the upcoming release of the live-action Little Mermaid film.

The film, set to be released on May 26, has had two Lego sets created in its honour: The Little Mermaid Story Book, and The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell.

You can visit the Lego location in Edinburgh at the St James Quarter, open daily from 9am until 8pm.
