I'm very busy here on this leg of my trip too, more than just the park to
visit, and then I travel to Germany.

hi!
So you are travelling by train. Passing Hamburg again when going south? On
the south western end of the railway station there is the big department
store Karstadt across the street. ("Südsteg", thru the tunnel, first shop on
the right.) They have a LEGO section in the basement. It used to be fairly
large and for a long time was some sort of factory outlet for LEGO
Hohenwestedt. Well that's more of historic interest now. They still have
more Kabooki stuff than you normally find outside of Billund though. Across
the street is Galleria-Kaufhof. They also have LEGO (top floor) but except
for special offers not the cheapest - but they often have the christmas
stuff rather early. You can cross under the street from Karstadt and you
enter at the basement level right into the sweet section. In the last years
the christmas sets were sold with Milka Chocolade (light purple boxes). Btw
just saw the first LEGO Advent Kalenders (SpieleMax). If you do travel by
car checking out the Furniture Store "Möbel Kraft" in Segeberg to the north
west of Hamburg is often quite rewarding as they do sell LEGO in the toy
section with good prices. Oh and there was some LEGO show going on in er
"Elbe Einkaufszentrum"? this weekend or the last? sorry can't remember.
Anyway what other parts of Germany are you heading for?

have a good hunt
