I emerged from my dark ages during a trip to Hanoi in 2016, more or less. I kept seeing a lot of shops specializing in Lego (like, on every block in the Old Quarter), so I finally went into one just to escape the heat of late summer in Vietnam. I saw a big Classic box (I don't recall which) and was amused. It was the first time I had thought about Lego since I was about 11, 27 years ago now, and was delighted by all the colors and shapes that seemed so new to me. I didn't buy anything then, nor when I returned to Hanoi later that same year, but I was smitten.

Anyway, I'm thinking about going back for a third trip. And shopping for Lego isn't my main reason for going (that would be THE FOOD and the odd statues of Lenin everywhere), but you know I'm going to spend an inordinate amount of time looking at and thinking about Lego.

Does anyone know, generally speaking, what kind of prices Lego sets are in Vietnam? Like, in South Korea there's a reliable 30-50% markup over US prices, and a little less in Japan. Things are so cheap in Vietnam, and I recall seeing tons of dusty old sets piled up everywhere, so I'm hoping to scope some old stuff for a song. *FIngers crossed*
