Erm… literally… if you’ll examine the lower left corner of this photo…
Yeah, see what I mean? 😛 Is that an actual set??
Anyway if you are curious where this is from, it’s Odaiba Venus Fort Japan, courtesy of LEGO-KEI. You can also spot the top of the new LEGO book that I hope to get soon:
Enjoy build with Brick Toy
(Tsukutte asobu block gangu)Price : 2,100 Yen (Tax Included)
127pages
Language : Japanese
An author : Yoshikazu Saito
Publisher : Socym
You can find out more about this book from Let’s LEGO, as Sachiko has included a translated table of contents for this book there.
As for the minifig selection… good way to even out the sex ratio with some long haired beauties I think.
That lower left corner is a bunny set from Seasonal Easter 2010. Model no – 40005. It’s a nice little set.
I got the pieces for the duck at one of the workshops I attended. Apparently, you can buy it in bulk for education purpose. We had fun trying to create our own version of a duck. And that was where my liking for lego restart:)
Never realised that this is in Venus Fort! Will keep a lookout for it the next time I go japan!
Legoland has been selling the three ducks in the minifig case for a few months now… Really kinda lame set tho.
I can confirm that based on my recent visit to Legoland California.

Thanks for the comments. I don’t think I want the set, I’m just curious what the set contains and how much it costs.
@Audrey: Yeah, you can read my LEGO shopping in Japan II for a summary. I’ll recommend Amazon.co.jp to be the cheapest n most convenient option tho Click Brick is fun to visit to see the fun accessories (some are exclusive to Japan), pick a minifig, and brick engraving services.
@Tiffeny: Do you remember how much the ducks were selling for?
OK … I got the point … You know I’ll read … Your book should be arriving this coming Sunday … mine as well …
The Deep Sea Explorer – ETA unknown till i hear back from V….
@Jonathan: No lar, wasn’t meant as a hint. I’m genuinely looking forward to getting the book, esp reading zjz’s post in the forum. Thanks so much for your help/lobang!
Just kidding … the book is touching down Changi Airport Terminal 3 @ 1:40am, Sunday. I can’t wait for the books, too …
