I found these in Seoul located on the famous street of toys. The area is at Changsin-dong Jongno-gu Seoul. The Seungjin store at 30 Jong-ro 52-gil Jongno-gu is one of the few places to have legitimate Lego sets.

 

Prices are pretty good for retired sets.IMG_20190618_115821.jpegIMG_20190618_115812.jpegIMG_20190618_115042.jpeg

Buybid4utw has 2 shops in Taipei, one that deals in parts and minifigures and one that deals in sets. Compared to the other non-official Lego stores I’ve seen in Asia this place has a really nice selection along with quite reasonable pricing, especially considering 90% of it is imported from sellers like us.

If any of you are ever in Taiwan, I’d encourage you to check out these shops. The owner, Tiger, was great to talk to and I hope to get back and visit there again.

I managed to pick up an Indonesia exclusive set 40226, that caught my eye. Will be taking it back to add to my collection.

I'm also willing to bring a few items with me if anyone is interested. It's a bit last minute, but that's what work did to me =/

P.S. If you do not want to share, you do not have to.

I'm interested in some of the Shell Lego sets for personal collection. Anyone have insight on those or have any they want to trade? Could post it in Brick Trader, I don't know if there are US only sets or any promos folks are looking for.

This will also act as a distribution point to all of Asia, (Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, ect....)

You can look at it as "half full or half empty"

 

I think our selling margins to Asia will have a large impact.

 

But from a positive view, the demand and fans base would increase overnight.

We may get Regional sets that's not available to us. (The Year of the Dragon set) 

I actually think knockoffs would subside.

Thanks for your insight!
