Local LEGO Specialty Shop

Walking around Trinoma a couple of days ago, we passed by a board-up for a new upcoming store. Turns out local specialty shop, Hobbes and Landes, will be opening up a LEGO store right there. That’s what I gathered from the graphic on the board up (stacked LEGO bricks) and an actual LEGO display.

My heart almost skipped a beat. A local LEGO store! Be still my heart.

The husband said, it has been there for a while already. But I told him it was the first time I’ve seen it. This is still great news! This will mean access to more different kinds of LEGO, LEGO accessories, as well as those blind packaged singles— or even the possibility of buying just certain piece off a set! Like what we saw from the LEGO store in Singapore. Unless H&L already does that, I haven’t been to their flagship store at The Fort yet.

I can’t wait! I also wonder if they’ll be able to install the Interactive Kiosk already too.

Welcome to the Dark Side

Getting my R2D2 watch earlier this year, I knew I had to get the Darth Vader one.

And indeed, when I got to a LEGO store at Singapore, they have one in stock! (Also 3 more). Hee~ the sales person was talking me to take the more mature LEGO Star Wars watches, but I liked the kiddie models more. And since my sister has been asking me for the R2D2 watch for a long time now, I can give it to her already. I’m keeping the R2D2 fig though XD

This item is a LEGO Kids’ Star Wars Darth Vader Watch bought from the Singapore LEGO store, Bricks World.
