Hello everyone, reporting in! Just came back from a week of seminar in Hong Kong... I know what you're thinking, Lego shopping!! rclxm9.gif But unfortunately was there for work so had very little time to shop. I did manage to check out some of the places mentioned by fellow AFOLs here, credit goes to bro cute_boboi and Bigfoot-X for the shopping guide and store contact. notworthy.gif

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! drool.gif 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. tongue.gif

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. tongue.gif

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:

Not Legoland, a bit further south. Just retrieving goodies from my offshore 'warehouse'.  tongue.gif

Did visit Legoland but more for kids to play. Nothing worth buying except some polybags maybe. PAB prices better now but I'm not a MOC'er. Sets not worth getting unless got sales with 30% or more  discounts.

BTW, i think the Lego Movie Minifigure is cheaper, RM11.90 each...
if i'm not mistaken, the series 10,9,8 is RM12.90 each hmm.gif

Yes ! Lego Movie CMF is cheaper ... i hope they remain this pricing for Simpsons too icon_idea.gif

QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Mar 31 2014, 06:46 PM)
Hmmm... It's only my first trip there to check out the Lego shops and don't really know my way around Hong Kong... From what I heard prices are good but I was on a work trip so don't have the luxury of spending lots of time comparing prices and hauling the big boxes home... If you are there on a family vacation or business trip then it should be worth it, if to purposely fly over for Lego probably not unless you plan to haul lots of big sets. Don't forget besides air ticket you have to pay for accommodation...
Thanks for advice , am still considering whether to HK or Korea hmm.gif

Price here in KL I think can get about RM300, price from Lego'er. Actually I been contemplating about getting it here with vouchers, but I think Parkson don't have that set right? So just happy that my wife got a biz trip there, can get my friend to haul.

He normally hauls it at Let's Go, sort of like a regular now.

cost saving definitely won't be much. the only incentive for me to use them is when there's exclusive promotion.. say martian in march / raven in may 4th weekend.. other than that can just buy from local resellers..

under hopshopgo prime shipping will be DHL express so items will reach you faster... smile.gif

Today as expected , isetan 1utama got a new box of lego movie minifig ... but there are 3 isetan stuff (with a tag stating on break or rest) and 1 guy with lego polo tee standing in front of the minifig box and start squeezing and filtering the whole box , half of minifig being choose and place aside.

so this is the reason why yesterday there are only 3 minifig left on the box with alot of thumbprints .... not squeeze by anyone but their own on break staff ... !

Well done Isetan ~

May be the staff are AFOLs too cool2.gif

Can get the original instruction from ebay if you are really into Lego Movie and a perfectionist, else just download the instruction and BL the part can be much more cheaper  tongue.gif
Last time I saw TRU midvalley staff do the same with the S10 CMF. He done it while placing barcode tag on the pack. Pretty lame and unacceptable act done by the staff.  vmad.gif
