I know there isn't anything like Toys R Us, but what is the best toy store you've seen? I'm particularly interested in a large selection of Lego.

WRONG!

There are 4 Toys R Us in Seoul!

I know that they don't have them here, but have you ever been to a Lego store? I went to one near Chicago, and it was the coolest thing. They have bins of odd-pieces that you can buy. Lego doors, windows, trees, different size bricks, different colors. Coolest thing ever. If I had come across a Lego store as a kid, my head would have exploded.

Speaking of Legos, have you ever been here?

For some strange reason, there are not a lot of good toy stores in Korea.


Toys R Us has mainly a collection of plastic ...., although I did see a few very good board games.

One would think that Koreans don't want their children to have any fun?

There is a Toys R Us in the Lotte Mart (I think it's a Lotte Mart?) near Guil Station on Line number 1. I went there one time, and I seem to remember there was a large selection of Legos there. I was actually surprised by the size of the Toys R Us, and I had a good time looking around.

Madoka, come and at least VISIT Korea. Evidently, you'll be surprised at what you'll find.

There's also a Toys r Us in the second floor at Chamsil Lotte. I went there a couple times for x-mas shopping at was surprised at how expensive some toys were while other toys were very, very reasonable. They had great selection, too.

Thanks for the replies guys. Given that Korea is one of the few countries that has a Lego factory, I was hoping to find some interesting sets. I didn't know that TRU was in Korea. I'm going to have to check them out.
