The minifigures i got from retail on Thursday are Roman Emperor, Alien Avenger, Plumber, Mermaid, Waiter, Judge, Chicken Suit Guy, Policeman, Mr Good & Evil, Heroic Knight and Cyclops. 11/16. The Plumber and Waiter are considered rare find, as there are only 2 figures per box.

The figures such as Hollywood Starlet, Forest Maiden and Fortune Teller are the figures that are almost impossible to get from retail. For this post, i will just be showing the 7 new figures.

Asia Largest Lego Christmas Tree in Legoland

Report from Asiaone (29 Nov 2012)

The first Legoland Park in Asia is getting into the Christmas spirit with another first - Asia's tallest Lego Christmas tree.

Legoland Malaysia unveiled the nine metre tree at a special lighting ceremony today. Created from more than 400,000 Lego bricks, it is decorated with 260 Lego ornaments.

The tree took approximately 10 weeks to build and weighs more than 6,000 kilograms. Designed with an advanced computer programme, it took a team of nine people to complete the assembly.

The initial design and building was done in the Czech Republic where the largest Lego Model Shop is located. The tree was then shipped to Malaysia in 40 parts and assembled in the park by its Malaysia model builders.

The tree has been fitted with 108 special Lego LED candles and is designed to withstand local weather conditions such as heat, wind and rain.

Legoland's Christmas tree is a annual tradition at its parks all across the world, said Mr Siegfried Boerst, General Manager of LEGOLAND Malaysia.

He lit up the tree for the first time this evening to mark the start of the first year of Christmas celebrations at Legoland Malaysia.

The tree will be displayed at the park from now until early January 2013, and will light up every evening from 7pm onwards.

Several activities have been planned as part of Legoland's Christmas celebrations, including special walking characters, storytelling sessions and Christmas ornament building activities.

The building sessions will be held at Lego Academy from 11am to 5pm daily, and visitors can choose to either participate in a free building session or purchase specially packed bricks at the Brick Shop.

With the purchase, visitors can learn how to build each item with Legoland Malaysia model builders for several hours every day and take home the festive ornaments.

Hi Readers!

Dear Readers,

I'm back after spending 14 days in US. Mainly in San Francisco & Las Vegas. In San Francisco I didn't came across any lego store. It is not cheap when taking cab in US, at Las Vegas we took a cab to the Las Vegas Premium Outlet (North) for some shopping, mainly clothings. The next day we went to the Premium Outlet in the South, the taxi fare cost about USD20, back & fro was almost USD40 (we didn't went there just for toys)

There was a Toys R Us outlet, it is not a store, so it is pretty small. The lego there are limited. I purchased 2 boxes of 9489 Star Wars Battle Pack & 9490 Droid Escape (USD14.99 & USD24.99 exclude tax).

For those coming back from US, there is a limit of goods you can carry back to Singapore, all passengers are required to declare at the airport. Total purchase must not be more than S$600, else you have to pay tax at the airport. We just remove all the labels of clothings and bags, for lego it will be alright if you remove them from boxes. It is not worth to take risk, if you are caught a fine will be imposed.

the small outlet in Las Vegas Premium Outlet (South)

After my US trip, i will really think twice before buying from Singapore retail.

Lego Minifigures Series 8 Pictures Update

Soon after getting hold of the MF S7 set just a few weeks ago, we are going to see another release this September (in 2 months time). In my opinion, that was really fast, with the continuous release of new figures (about 3 series in a year), the excitement kind of reduces.. what do you think?

Looking at the new figures, there isn't anything really attractive. What caught my attention is the Alien figure.

Ancient Thespis with a Skull
Boy in Bavarian costume with a pretzel
Conquistador with a rapier
Cowgirl with a brown lasso
Diver with a harpoon (earlier diver in Series 1)
DJ with a disc and a disc case
Enemy Robot with a laser gun (there will be a robot in every series? Space theme character)
Evil Female Alien with laser gun
Fairy with wings and a wand
Football Player with gold trophy
Pirate Captain with gold cutlass and hook
Red Cheerleader with red pom poms (go with the white cheerleader in Series 1)
Santa Claus with sack
Skier with skis (too many skier...)
Trader with newspaper and suitcase (he can go with the gangster)
Vampire with bat wings
