Where can I buy LEGO mini-figures and accessories on the internet?
(with international delivery)

Request for Question Clarification by nauster-ga on 06 Jan 2003 00:19 PST
Is there a specific location you want the figures shipped to, or is it
necessary to ship to many arbitrary international destinations?

Clarification of Question by jimeoin-ga on 06 Jan 2003 00:20 PST
Actually I want them to be shipped to Hong Kong.

Actually I want them to be shipped to Hong Kong.
No EBAY. And I prefer pay by credit card of Paypal instead of cash or money orders.

jimeoin,

Thank you for your question.  Your best opportunity at getting LEGO
figures and accessories would be BrickLink.  BrickLink is the largest
secondart market for LEGO items in the world.  They currently have
over 860 stores with approximately 7 million items for sale.  There
are auctions as well as fixed price catalogs with several of the
vendors shipping internationally.  You can visit BrickLink at
http://www.bricklink.com/index.asp

I hope the above information is helpful.  If you need any additional
clarification, please let me know.

Regards,

Well..thanks for your kind advice Nauster.

Actually LEGO does sell in HK. What I am looking for is the stand
alone LEGO mini-figures but not whole box set. And I believe LEGO HK
Office won't help me much on that.

When I was a lad, Lego in the UK had a Spares Department and they were
able to sell the mini-figures; I think it was an assorted box of 10
(ie I couldn't choose in advance what I got). It was rather expensive
though.

Maybe asking nicely with tales of weeping six-year-olds who won't
sleep at night will tug their heartstrings :-)
