Was so ecstatic to see LEGO City exhibition at Senayan City last weekend. It was AWESOOOOMEEE..! I went to the shopping centre on Friday night just to go to Sony Ericsson store -got some problem with the PC Suite. That's all I wanted to do, I didn't think it would take more than an hour. But I found some interesting Christmas decoration on the way, there was this golden minimalist Christmas tree near the valet service and a HUGE Christmas teddy bear. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to take pictures! Aaand when I arrive at the atrium level, there's this enormous-sophisticated-fantastic LEGO City! I had seen the 'Lego City' sign when I was on the escalator, I thought it was just another Lego sale, well maybe with one or two house or Harry Potter Lego sample.. Hell I was wrong, there was a city miniature! With buildings, ships, planes, houses, lots of 'people', elevated train and much much more. I was so amazed. But since I didn't have enough battery on my cellphone that night, I had to go back the next day just to get pictures of the city. :)
It's been a long time since I 'touch' any Lego. The last time was because I had to tidy it up. My cousin played with it & God knows how much I'm scared I'm gonna lose it, especially the small or rare components. My cousin is a boy, thus not fond of tidying & organizing activities, let alone try to avoid throwing my Lego under the sofa -_-. It happens that I prefer to tidy up my Lego myself, because there are certain rules to follow and I don't think anyone will do it exactly as I do, hihi.. :P. I'd been playing it since I was on kindergarten I guess, my first Lego was a Duplo, Lego for toddlers. It consists of bigger block components, bigger minifigures and more colorful parts. Around the age of 6, I used to play Lego Basic, it belongs to my Grandparents, I only played it when I came to their house. I didn't find any complicated parts at that time, it was basically bricks, doors, windows & roofs. The brick was thicker than the ones I have now. The next Lego I own is a part of Legoland subtheme, I just know now that it's actually a part of Town theme. This kind of Lego got more itsy bitsy tiny & diverse parts. The first time I got it, I was awed to see the small brown luggage, those tiny rounded transparent parts, small stairway, broomstick, mop, frying pan, drawer, cupboard, flowers and much more.
After browsing about Lego, I just found out that they have vastly different collections now. I think they're a lot more specific to a certain theme, such as Harry Potter, Castle, Mars Mission, Indiana Jones, etc, while I prefer to have simple buildings such as houses, restaurants and airports. Oh, I used to wish for a gas station Lego, I don't know why.. :D. If I want to buy another Lego, maybe I could consider this Lego City's airport or these Lego. I just found them on the Top Rated Lego, I also saw one of them at the exhibition! Damn, this Lego craze will only add up to my already long wish list.. :P
Anyway, here's some stuff at Lego City that I really like:
