New lego store in town

 The Brick Shop at Jurong Point, just opened for a week

There is a NEW Lego store in town - The Brick Shop (the 1st store for lego fans in west). During lunch time i was at Jurong Point after visiting client's site office. I came across this store and the modular houses on display was a welcoming sight (set belongs to the store owner).

The store is stocked with the current range of lego products. To become a member, a year subscription of $30, or spending of $300 on a single receipt. Member can enjoyed 10% off retail price. Which is similar for most of the lego stores.

Had a nice chat with a fellow lego fan, gave a little help here by blogging on the new store. All the best for his Lego business. The traffic at Jurong Point is really amazing.

Lego Update April

Recently i had been very busy with work & had less time bloggging on lego. However i'm still constantly keeping update on all lego stuff, at the same time adding a few lego sets to my own collection. 1-2 weeks ago i had purchased 3 lego sets at discounted prices.

A week ago, i came across the lego book THE CULT OF LEGO at the library, pretty lucky, i don't have to spend about $100 getting this book from retail.

Lego & Vintage Tie Fighters

meeting the classic figure (from 1983)

Recently I had less time on lego blogging due to work commitment. A week ago, i received the tie fighter pilot purchased from ebay, just adding an extra figure to a team of vintage tie fighters. I thought it will be cool to have a picture of this 2 figures.
