“The LEGO Monthly Mini Build event is held at official LEGO stores usually at the beginning of each month. Basically, children ages 6-14 can build a mini model polybag set while at the store, that they can then take home. As space is limited at each store for these events,... More advanced registration is required. Registration opens on the 15th of the month prior to the event.”
