Lego In Vietnam Information

The Lego Store in Hanoi picture taken by josemarques on 19 Aug 2010.
A Lego store in Hanoi? Not sure if this is the official lego store.

Was planning to buy lego from Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City with my existing contacts. Having been to Hanoi in 2006 and HCM 2007, Vietnam is a massive trading hub, importing goods mainly from China (lego after all was mass produced from China factory), there are certain products which can be really cheap, because of their close promixity with China.

On 28th March, Mandy J Waston's post on his twitter:
I found a LEGO store in Hanoi, Vietnam. Prices are same as, to much worse than, South African prices. 20110328 http://twitpic.com/4e9r5s 5:01 AM Mar 28th via Twitpic

Searching for information on Vietnam lego, this is the first picture i came across. A Lego Store in Hanoi, this picture was taken in 2005 by ebifry who had shared on his flickr photostream. With boxes of lego stacked up inside the shop, it looks like the store was opening soon.

Currently, there are 2 Lego stores in Hanoi as reported, lego was available in some of the supermarkets, info can be found here:

Lego Kingdoms July 2010 (Part 1)

Kingdoms are here in Singapore. 2 Sided Glossy Promotion Poster. LegoAsia is not doing promotion for Lego, just that as castle fans we are somehow excited about it :)

Lego Kingdoms sets... 7949 Prison Carriage Rescue, 7950 Knights Showdown, 7953 Court Jester and 7955 Wizard.

back of the boxes.. just getting small sets at the moment.

The green dragon wizard... with the new little dragon. On the scroll reads " You are far more powerful than you would ever imagine..."

The Jester with 2 faces.

We are slow here in Asia, but anyway the Kingdoms are here...

Here are the Lego Kingdoms that arrived in Singapore. For the larger sets I do not have them now, not intend to buy at the moment ... will wait for a while. Was given the Kingdoms promotion poster, it was a 2-sided poster with different designs.

For the King's Castle... my personal thoughts is there isn't anything exciting about the design.. apart from the new looking tower, I expect Lego to have more ideas for this set...

Will open the other 2 sets(7950 & 7949) shortly.
