LEGO recently introduced a new incentive to buy at the Online LEGO Shop by introducing free shipping on all orders over $75 every day and forever… well, at least until 2016… This will make online shopping so much more convenient; no need to wait for promotions or special offers for free shipping, which typically only happened around holidays. So, “Yay!” to LEGO for introducing everyday free shipping! As we discussed previously there are lots of new LEGO sets released this summer; including the second wave of LEGO Galaxy Squad, a brand new LEGO Castle line, and new sets in the LEGO Creator, LEGO Legends of Chima, LEGO City, LEGO DUPLO and LEGO Hero Factory lines. And there is also the LEGO Lone Ranger line, brand new for this summer and based on the Lone Ranger movie that will be released early July. Even if the movie flops (hopefully it won’t) the sets should be very popular with LEGO Western fans. Oh, and besides free shipping you will also get a free exclusive Jor-El minifigure with purchases of $75 or more. O
nce your purchase reaches $75, your free exclusive LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Jor-El Minifigure will be automatically added to your shopping bag. Available only through the Online LEGO Shop and official LEGO stores. Besides LEGO Super Heroes here are some of the other new LEGO sets and themes this month that you might like to check out. ow do you like LEGO’s new offer for everyday free shipping? Are you planning to take advantage of it anytime soon? I know I’m planning to pick up at least one of the new LEGO Galaxy Squad sets, and I’m waiting for the release of the new LEGO Master Builder Academy set next month. What about you? What are you getting this summer? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉As far as I'm aware, LEGO doesn't have any retail stores in Singapore itself-- which is usually the only place to buy individual bricks for sale.The closest that I'm aware of is LEGOLAND Malaysia, which is just a few miles away from the city. I believe they have a Pick-A-Brick wall there (though it's probably expensive) where you can find individual bricks.
Otherwise, your best bet is probably going to be buying things online through venues like BrickLink.I think your best bet here is definitely BrickLink. , but the selection is much more limited.Lego Ferrari 150 ITALIA New Lego Marvel Super Heroes (PS4) at the lowest price in S'pore LEGO Minifigurine series 15 shark LEGO Disney Minifigures / Minifigurines Buzz Light Year And Alien LEGO Disney Minifigures / Minifigurines Donald & Daisy LEGO Disney Minifigures / Minifigurines Ariel the Mermaid LEGO years of the monkey 2016 LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Ice Queen LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Spooky boy LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Mariachi LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Desert Warrior LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Cyborg LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Hiker LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Spy LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Scallywag Pirate LEGO Minifigures Series 16 Dog Show Winner Brand new sealed LEGO Disney Castle Lego Duplo train track, train parts, bricks, people (from several sets)

Well, some selected Lego building sets are surprisingly cheap from Amazon. They also ship directly to Singapore, saving you the hassle of having to work with a freight forwarder. Furthermore, if you order enough, at least US$125 worth, you can get AmazonGlobal Saver shipping, which means shipping to Singapore is completely free! I posted recently about some toys I got, one of them being the Emerald Express pictured here. Below, I’ve listed out several more of the Lego building sets, all of them costing less than US$7 (approximately S$9) each. They’ll probably make great birthday and Christmas presents for kids. Great for the parents too, since they don’t have to spend a fortune on them. LEGO City 60011 Surfer Rescue Toy Building Set – US$4.59 LEGO Creator 31014 Power Digger – US$4.95 LEGO Creator 31015 Emerald Express – US$4.95
LEGO Creator 31013 Red Thunder – US$4.97 LEGO City Motorcycle 60000 – US$5.99 LEGO City Police 60041 Crook Pursuit – US$6.95 LEGO City Police ATV 60006 – US$6.97 LEGO Friends Water Scooter Fun 41000 – US$6.97 AmazonGlobal Saver does take about 2 – 3 weeks to deliver. It’s only August now, though, so if this is for Christmas, you’ve still got plenty of time! Don’t forget you need US$125 minimum of qualifying orders for AmazonGlobal Saver. I’d reckon you can just buy multiple of the sets, or pool with someone else, to meet the minimum order requirement. Disclosure: I participate in the Amazon Affiliates programme.

Those building blocks allowed you to create anything you could imagine (as long as you had the parts), and kept children entertained for hours. They were so much fun that it was worth the occasional spasm of agony you would get from stepping on an errant piece (those 4×2 bricks are the worst, I tell you).
The thing about Lego is that it was distinctively Danish in nature, with maybe a few American references thrown in. It wasn’t until a few years ago that we got Lego sets that were truly Singaporean, with sets that might not make sense anywhere else in the world. In fact, we’ve got nine of them since then. So here are some of the most Singaporean Lego sets around. Have you gotten your hands on all of them? If you would like to look up the set number, it’s 21021. It retailed for around $79.90 when it first came out, but within a few short months, scalpers snapped them all up. Now they can go for over $200 on resale markets like eBay. For poor collectors like yours truly, I would just like to have a Lego set of an iconic Singapore building. I hope Lego reissues this set one day. Unless you live in Toa Payoh, you probably don’t have a dragon playground nearby anymore. But did you ever stop to think how awesome this actually was when you were a child? How many countries in the world can boast that their playgrounds contained a dragon that was integrated into its features?
So during SG50, we could get a Dragon Playground set. Right in the childhood. Admittedly this is a slight copout since a HDB flat isn’t all that hard to build on a small scale, provided you have the blocks. But this HDB Flat set comes complete with with void decks and rooftop water tanks, in the architectural style typical of the 80s! It would have been even more awesome if they could have included a small little mama shop inside too. Although it’s been a while since we’ve taken cable cars, they were one of the highlights of 80’s Singapore, since you could ride one to Sentosa. More infamously though, was the cable car disaster of 1983, when an errant oil rig sailed right into the cables. Our PM (then Colonel) led the rescue operations to save those passengers, showing us that he was already pretty badass 30 years ago. I feel this is pushing it a little, since we mostly remember the ice cream sandwiches/wafers (that BuzzFeed derided, tsk!) rather than the bike.
But the motorised bikes with the fridges and umbrella attached would ring every time they were in the HDB carpark, and their milkshake ice cream would bring all the boys to the yard. And the girls, too. If you were a student during 2015, you’d have received a commemorative SG50 Lego set that could build several interesting sets. Changi Airport was one of the builds you could create, or more accurately, the control tower. This is the second build you could create from the commemorative SG50 Lego set. Why is Cavenagh Bridge so significant? It’s the only suspension bridge in Singapore. If you look carefully, the pieces for the suspension cable parts of the set are the same as the one used for Spider-Man’s webbing in Lego Spider-Man sets. It’s amazing how the same part can serve different purposes, depending on the scale of the set! 8. Gardens By The Bay And finally, you can build the Skytrees of Gardens By The Bay with the comemorative SG50 set! They’re tiny and kind of in scale with the HDB Flat set too.
To top it off, there’s actually an unofficial Lego Merlion set that you can buy that’s made out of Lego parts! Designed by a brilliant Singaporean, Gavin Foo, it even has effects parts to simulate the Merlion spouting water. If there’s one Uniquely Singaporean Lego set you should buy, it’s this one – support our local designers! It’d be amazing if all these Lego pieces came to life – and they do, in The Lego Batman Movie! A spinoff of The Lego Movie, the film sees Lego Batman facing off against Lego Joker and his army of Lego bad guys. But our hero must overcome his own fears and weaknesses if he is to defeat his nemesis for good. It’s also probably one of the best films this year (and it’s only February). Bring a The Lego Batman Movie Guide in with you, because you’ll definitely need it to keep track of all the characters in the film!
