I didn't get anything other than a Lego Woody alarm clock that I had wanted for so long to go together with Buzz...

Generally it is a very interesting place especially In's Place where you can find lots of discontinued sets. I saw a 10189 Taj Mahal going for HK$14000! Just feels special to be in the presence of such a massive set.

Prices are generally cheap but not cheap enough to get me to forget about the hassle of hauling the big boxes through the busy streets of Hong Kong and back to Malaysia... So after checking out most of the stores that were opened and controlling my urges to buy I ended up buying nothing.

I'm quite surprised that the prices are "fixed", maybe I'm just not very good at bargaining but every store I go to they just tell me price is fixed and non-negotiable so that really put me off finding good deals for certain sets... I hear others having a great time shopping in Hong Kong so either I'm looking at the wrong places or just a terrible shopper.

Anyway, yesterday was at Bangsar Village and my daughter spotted a Lego truck parked by the road kerb outside Coffee Bean. So we checked it out and it is called "The Mobile Lego City". Inside the truck is a built up Lego Police Station on Display, a Lego City game on iPad and a pile of bricks for the kids to do their MOC.

From what I understand, they are out to create their own customer database so first thing you have to do is to fill up the registration form provided before being allowed into the truck. The kids are given a postcard sized card with 5 boxes to be stamped after they go through each event station. So first station is the Police Station display, you play with it for a bit and gets a stamp. Next is the iPad game, another stamp. Then comes the MOC, create something and get another stamp. Take your MOC down to the booth to have a photo taken and printed on the spot, another stamp. Once all done, you get a RM10 shopping voucher.

Sorry I didn't take any photos of the truck and the inside of the truck. Here are photos of the flyer to tell you when they will be next and the RM10 voucher I received:

My modular row, now with Parisian Restaurant and Police modular MOC. Got about to build my Parisian Restaurant and retake all my modulars again.



Close-up of the Police station MOC. It is build using 2 police station sets. Currently still works in progress, very fragile and an empty shell


Close-up of the Parisian Restaurant. Yes, the Green Grocer is much bigger than the Parisian Restaurant, but the top 2 floors are mostly empty unlike the Parisian Restaurant.

Oh, if you were wondering how it was last year, below is the picture I took last year. The table has been changed from a 6 seater to an 8 seater, but looks like it is still not long enough!!!
