I will be away for the next 2 weeks

Post by Ice » Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:35 pm

For the next 2 weeks, I will be away from town. As a result, there will be NOT be a May issue of the LEGO monthly newsletter. Regular LEGO news service will resume when I get back. Please visit our front page and forums for the most up to date news.

Heres some fun things you can do: If you need assistance, you can PM me. Although I am out of town, I may still be able to get some sort of internet access.

Happy Easter everyone and enjoy your holidays!

I'm glad to see that Brickbuilder0937 and ncbarrett has been keeping you all up to date while I was away. I was quite suprised to see that Hong Kong sells the Muji LEGO Bricks and Paper sets for $200 (~$26 USD | $26 CAD). They also had the LEGO Hole Puncher for sale. In addition, LEGO Minifigures ranging from Series 2-4 were available unpicked at many stores including Toys R Us for $21.3 (~$2.7 USD | $2.6 CAD). I also found the polybag 30055 Droid Fighter set in a toy store but at $150 for 2 (~$19.3 USD | $18.6 CAD), its way too expensive even with the strong dollar ratio. But what really suprised me was that Toys R Us HK has all the LEGO Star Wars sets and high value sets locked up in the Customer Services counter. The stores were also small and not what I had expected compared to Toys R Us Canada.

Greetings from Hong Kong!

Lego's pricing in Hong Kong is pretty aggressive, like the 10211 emporium, TRU is selling at HKD 1598 (~USD 205). Good thing is we don't have VAT.

The collectible minifigs are probably, and strangely, the only "cheap" lego we can get here.

The polybag 30055 Droid Fighter is probably imported from the US, i've never actually seen any type of polybags sold in HK TRU.
