Lego Einstein

Recently (May 2012) I visited Lego Discovery Center in Duisburg, Germany. For grown ups, there were many fun details made out of Legos and this huge Einstein face was one of them. The Einstein was made completely out of Lego bricks and the motorized eyes were moving slowly from side to side.

I have seen images from other Lego Discovery Centers, and it seems that this kind of Einstein face is quite common in these Lego attractions. I guess someone has either made the instructions for building Einstein (with how many steps?!) or somewhere is a person or persons who have been building these faces for years! :)

Star Wars Lego display

At the same visit in Hong Kong, in the same Toys'r'us where I found Super Mario toys, was this nice Star Wars Lego display.

In the country I live in, Finland, Lego toys are quite expensive. As many other things too, the Lego sets were quite a lot cheaper in Hong Kong.

For example the set 7667, Imperial Dropship, costs around 18 euros in Finland. In Hong Kong the same package costs around 128 HKD, which is less than 12 euros.

I tried to count the figurines from the image, and I guess there is approx 250 figurines (not all of them are visible) in the display. To create a display with 250 Star Wars Lego figurine, you would need 63 sets with 4 figurines in each. For a Finn, it would cost around 1134 euros.

Luckily there was a sale in our local toy shop, and you could get every Lego set with 50 % discount. I can post some pics of the sets we bought, after Christmas...
