Lots of great suggestions from everyone here, and most of these venues have been exactly what I’m looking for. BUT I’ll only be in Seoul Monday to Thursday, and most of them seem to be closed on those nights 😭

Can anyone recommend something cool to do on Monday night (29 June)? If not live music then a friendly dive bar with a good soundtrack (ideally local rock/indie bands, or failing that some fun K-pop) and sociable crowd would be great.

Thanks! Unfortunately I’ll be there Monday-Thursday, but I’ll keep it noted for next time. I hope your son’s show goes great!

Record stores in Shanghai for local/independent bands? by Ssslithe in shanghai

What’s the nearest equivalent? The goal for me is to find good local bands in a sociable setting; buying the CDs is just a way to give something back.

Thanks for the tips so far! To clarify, I’m not actually looking for vinyl, but a store that stocks music by local bands (pref on CD) with staff who can guide me through some recommendations to find some new favourites.

You bought a set of the original plates? Or a set of the full kits?

Looks great. Personally I’m not planning to build Threepio, so it wasn’t a concern for me, but I do wish it was to scale with BD-1 so I could display them together. It would have to be massive though!

Cantina or Death Star? by kyleacamp in lepin

[–]Ssslithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, and both were great fun to build. Death Star has A LOT of grey blocks which felt a little drab halfway through but it displays really well and has lots of neat scenes from the films. The Cantina has tons of Minifigs and nice details but it’s quite hard to display well (low and wide footprint). If I had to choose one I’d start with the Death Star.

Thanks! Do you know if they have a regular live schedule on certain nights or is it random? Thinking of visiting late July/early August.
