Hello--
I have a sneaking suspicion that my posts about being in Korea spawned this
page. As far as anyone else actually checking in from Korea, I doubt it. I
also doubt any of us Americans will get out there. It's not like Korea is a
big tourist destination, you know. Anyway, there wasn't much Lego there,
although what I did find was old--one set was from 1990 even.
Later,
Jesse

Hello there!
I'm going to Seoul, Korea in a few months for business, and was wondering if any
one knew 'ANYTHING' about Lego in Korea...
Do major department stores stock newer sets...are the prices similar?!?
Is there any Korean-Canadians out there that can giveme some first-hand anvice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, although i'll understand if no one can
help me.
But...but if i do find some incredible sets from the early 1990's i'll be super
happy abd thrilled.
Thanks,
-=Richard=-

This might not be what you want to hear, but you may be able to find Oxford sets
on the shelves in Korea. Oxford is a remarkably high quality clone brand 100%
compatible with LEGO, Mega Bloks, and the like, and it includes a range of
unusual and useful elements. The most well-known sets are military vehicles,
but they also have town, castle, police, etc. If you're not inherently averse
to clones, and if you can find a small set for just a few bucks, you might be
pleasantly surprised.
Dave!
