Pick A Brick Confirmed for Legoland Malaysia

July 17, 2012 By Jay Ong 12 Comments

Well, this is the HUGEST update on Legoland Malaysia that no one is talking about!

There will be a Pick A Brick Section at Legoland Malaysia

So today, I was checking out the Legoland Malaysia Facebook page as usual to check out if there were any interesting new updates on the park and I noticed a Wall Post where the Page Admins alluded to a Pick A Brick section. Now I was perplexed because prior to this, I had not heard of ANY  such thing so I decided to snoop around on their official website and lo and behold:

There it was, under the Shops section. This ends months of speculation by Malaysian AFOLs on the presence of a Pick A Brick section at the Theme Park. The Shops section also had a little more information on The Big Shop, which looks like it’s going to be a properly stocked Lego Store (official or not is still unknown at this time) with “the largest selection of LEGO toy sets under one roof in Asia but also includes exclusives and hard to find items” as well as Legoland Souvenirs.

Why is this such a big deal?

Essentially an AFOL’s (that’s Adult Fan of Lego) wet dream, the Pick A Brick Section is typically a massive wall filled with different Lego bricks and elements in tons of different colours. You get different sized plastic cups which you  fill up to the brim with ANY brick or element available on the Pick A Brick wall and pay a flat rate for it.

HOWEVER… this doesn’t seem to be the case for Legoland Malaysia. It seems that we will be charged according to the weight of bricks picked but pricing details have not been finalized.

I’m a little wary on this and I really hope this decision gets reverted back to conventional Pick A Brick pricing methods. Alas, this is all the information that’s available to us at the moment and I trust that Merlin will not try to rip us off at the Pick A Brick.

What this means for builders is that it is an amazing avenue (outside of Bricklink, of course) to amass different bricks such as plates, tiles, round pieces, foliage, etc. which is super useful for building custom creations.

And doesn’t that just sound like a cup-load of fun?

 Here’s what you can expect the Pick A Brick wall to look like.

Also, this is monumental because this will be the ONLY Pick A Brick in the Southern Hemisphere so far!

Frankly, this seals the deal for me and I CANNOT WAIT for September 15 to roll by. I anticipate that I will make a beeline to the Pick A Brick once the gates open. After hearing stories from friends in the States and Europe who’ve gotten to enjoy Pick A Bricks, seeing photos of their loot, I’ve always felt a sense of longing and jealousy that I’d have to travel to the US to try it out.

This also raises another interesting question. Will we have a Build Your Own Minifigure station in the store as well? Not really a big deal for me, but there have been stories that rarer accessories can sometimes be found there – I guess time will tell.

And I can’t believe that they didn’t tweet or post about this!

Oh man, my trip to Legoland on 15 September is going to be one expensive affair!

    Managed to visit Legoland Malaysia last Friday 16/8/13 and made a quick check at the PAB section (100 grams for RM35). Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to make any purchase with my kids running around – would love to grab some extra green base plates.
    There is also a Build Your Own Minifigure section but a 10 seconds lookat the avavailable parts does not interest me.

      Yeah, when I was at Legoland the selection was pretty poor. The Build Your Own Minifigure when I was there didnt have a lot of compelling parts either. Bit of a waste, really.

    I wrote a website where users can update the contents of the Pick A Brick wall for various lego stores. The site is http://www.thelegowall.com/

    I used my iphone to inventory the wall at the lego store in Orlando, FL. If you inventory your local store please send me some feedback on how the process works. I tried to make the GUI easy to use from a cell phone so that you can inventory a wall quickly.

    Just went to Legoland yesterday to collect my annual pass. Seeing as the Brick Store Lego prices are the same as in Kuala Lumpur department stores, I hope the price per grams would be reasonable.

      Hey Charles. I was at Legoland to collect my pass on Tuesday and will be blogging about it soon. Yes, it’s pretty disappointing that the prices are the same.

      As for Pick A Brick, I managed to speak to a few employees and wrangled out some information. Apparently Pick A Brick will be priced at RM30-RM35 per 100gm. Not too sure of the selection, and that sounds pretty high, but if you get 1×1 tiles, I guess it could be worth it.

      We’ll have to see on Sep 15 if it’s really worth it or not, heh.

        Thanks for the info Jay, much appreciated. I did ask around too, but I got a ‘we’re not sure yet’ reply. I agree the price high, but at least it’s all in one place. Been wanting to add a few custom parts to my sets. Shall wait till 15 September then.

        Wonder who would go to pick the 1X1 tiles to make up the 10230-1: Mini Modulars Series. 8-D

        P.S. – Heard there will be a sale at the Big Store on the 15th, around 20% off for sets. Also, had hoped for the price of sets to be cheaper than KL at least, ended up the same pricing. Well, anyway wish they had stocked up for Monster Fighters and LOTR though as I did not see them when I was there.

          If you check out my latest blog post (http://jaysbrickblog.wordpress.com/2012/09/02/preview-legoland-malaysia-visit/) I actually managed to wrangle some information on the pricing of Pick A Brick. Apparently it will be RM30-35 for 100gms of Lego.

          I’d definitely love to pick me a whole bunch of tiles! Haha.

          Nice, the 20% sale does sound good. Hopefully the MF sets will be in by then, but even at 20%, I’d still be able to get better value buying online. Might pick up some of the smaller MF sets if the sale does happen on the 15th!

    Actually we are in the Northern Hemisphere, not Southern Hemisphere since we are north of the equator. Not sure if we are the only pick a brick in Asia though, do not know if there is any Lego shop in Korea or Japan.

      Ah yeah, that’s true, heh. We’re definitely the only Pick A Brick outside of Europe and the US 🙂

It's one of the best and most epic #LEGO creature builds, and features some really nice build techniques, printed scales and an incredibly expressive face.

This model screams display presence and I think has wide-ranging appeal even for those that don't celebrate or observe the Lunar New Year!
