Hey guys. Nice to finally be able to contribute and chat. Bricktober has officially started in Japan. Only at Toys R Us.
(Luckily the Asian arm of Toys R Us has survived.)
It has 4 series and started on the 21st of September with the Ninjago set.
The next set is Harry potter, being sold from October 1st to 10th. (it will be free with over ¥7,000 worth of Lego)
The set after that is Jurrasic Park and the last will be Avengers.
Also the Micro set of Diagon Alley was here in Japan. Someone had about 10 sets which they sold on an auction site
for around ¥3,600 yen each. I think it came free with the ¥65,000 Hogwarts castle.
Also something strange. The Quiddich set was only sold in very small numbers from official Lego stores here, making
it very very hard to find and more expensive. I will wait to see if it ever comes to Toys R Us.
