Singapore Students to get free LEGO sets to commemorate SG50

This great piece of news is just released an hour ago. All the students & teachers in Singapore will receive a set of Lego "Building My SG" building bricks to commemorate Singapore's Golden Jubilee.

The bricks can be used in class to construct 3 iconic Singapore Landmarks - Cavenagh Bridge, Changi Airport and Garden by the Bay, each small set is representing a distinctive aspect of Singapore. Those in primary, secondary, special education, junior collages, ITE and polytechnics will receive their sets progressively by National Day.

 Kids be careful of the small bricks...it is hard to replace if lost!

It is just wonderful to be in school today! 600,000 sets are produced and will be given out free to all the students and teachers. I was informed that a secondary market had already started and people are profiting from this (selling online). Each set cost more than $100. IF you received this set, treat it as a present PLEASE do not sell. This is a gift from the nation afterall. It came once every 50 years!!! 

There will be a review of this set on the blog. My nephew & niece will be getting 1 set each. So stay tune.

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

9469 Gandalf Arrives 

The cheapest LOTR set is retail at S$29.90. 

Updated the post, i have provided the retail price in Singapore. To collect one full set will cost  S$820.30. At this moment, i'm not sure what will be the response from local lego fans (who intended to buy LOTR). With 20% discount the whole set will cost S$656.24.  Do you guys find collecting them as challenging (to the wallet) as compared with the SuperHeroes sets?

                                       This is the army building set that comes with 4 uruk-hai.

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.
