I've been to the Reim Arcaden shopping centre [in Munich] a few times and it usually has a good selection of sets and PAB. I particularly liked the fact that I could pick up unusual pieces such as the 1x2x2 transparent panel/ window. As I hire a car when I visit Legoland (closed at the moment) its easy to access as its not far off the ring road from the airport (via A94). The shopping centre was built on the site of an old airport - you can still see the control tower on the drive in. Don't forget that the store gives out Lego stamps unlike the parks. If you are in Reim Arcaden there was a very good store at the other end of the mall (I think it was called Miller/Muller or something like that) which had a large selection of Lego sets, many of which were on sale each time I visited (no PAB though).

Reim Arcaden shopping centre ? Which city is it close to ? Legoland or Munchen? As i will travel the train to it, can you give me the address or travelling way by train or U / S-Ualn/ Thnaks a lot!! I like to collect more parts for house or train because, they are not common in Hongkong!

Reim Arcaden is simple to get to on the U-Bahn as well. There are two exits to the station, and if you leave by the correct one, the giant sign above the Shopping Centre is directly facing you, so no question of getting lost! (Google Maps link - station MesseStadt West and you can even see the shadow cast over the Plaza by the sign).

The Lego shop was quite wonderful - I'd never been to a pick a brick wall before that when I went there before Christmas. I filled two large containers (€16) and between the two I had pretty much a full tub of 1x1, 1x2 and 1x4 medium blue bricks. I picked up loads of blue train doors but unfortunately didn't realise they were all left-hand ones! Ooops. I didn't pack the tubs insanely - just alternated small and large parts, together with occasional shaking. I got about 450 pieces in each tub.

I didn't buy any sets except for Duplo sets that I couldn't find back in Ireland and didn't see cheaper in Munich - the €5/€10 ones (I still have a couple stockpiled to give to my nephew on future occasions). There were one or two sets I could have saved on if I hadn't bought them earlier in the year.

The minifig bin was not particularly cheap compared to ebay (I'll often pay €1 per fig there, these were €2) but they had some interesting parts - some not that recent (e.g. paradisa torso, alpha team heads) and you do get two accessories with each minifig. I did buy five minifigs and these helped towards stocking fillers for family members (each Lego builder got a custom minifig from me, partly using some of these bits).

I'd like to have more to spend when next there - I had to curtail Lego spending in Nov/Dec due to buying for others and knowing I'd be spending in January on Pirates.
