1:Thailand

2:English, very little Japanese and even fewer Thai

3:I'd have to go to a city that's a half day's drive away, so no.

4:Fake ones mostly. I haven't seen a genuine HF classic outside of the mall.

5:I dunno, I don't keep track. It's within the same year at least.

6:I mostly buy 'em here, if I do. That's become rare.

7:Things are pretty decent as they are. Maybe if more came in the price would lower though...

9:Laziness

10:No, lots of people have given their opinion already.

[Vakama-san]

1. U.S.A.

2. English, want to learn Japanese.

3. Oh yeah.

4. I wish.

5. Normally on time, but sometimes it can be anywhere from two weeks to a month or two late.

6. At the store. Much easier.

7. It's fine the way it is.

9. Because you wanted 10 questions?

10. I'm kind of a newer member, so no.

2. English. I also know a tiny bit of Latin, German and French.
3. Yes.
4. Eeeh, depends on the shop.
5. Not long, I should think.
6. In-store, because then I don't have to wait for the sets to arrive days after I pay for them, ha ha. (It's also easier, and I get to talk to other Lego-enthusiasts while I'm there.)
7. It's fine as-is, but then again, you can never have too much Lego. XD
9. Wait, what...? *looks again* Because you're an imp? XD
10. Not at all, and since I'm new-ish, no to the latter. *waves hello* 

[Zeene]

1. The Netherlands. Awwwwww yeeeaaaaahhh!

3. Yeah, they're all over the place. Usually just a lot of the same ones though.
4. Hero Factory? yes. Bionicle:? no.
5. Usually about half a year. By the time they're promoting them in the local LEGO Magazine, the next line is already on the global website.
6. In a store, when I see something awesome, or a good deal.
7. I'd like some more Bionicles, yes.
9. BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST SYMMETRICAL NUMBER! YOU TERRIBLE PERSON, LEAVING IT OUT LIKE THAT! Just look at it: '8'.. it's perfectly symmetrical

4. Well I've seen old Bionicle Stars/Glatorian Vehicals and 1.0 Heroes like in early 2012.
5. They usually come about 2 days earlier, I believe.
6. I buy LEGO sets online and in stores. Online usually for sets that aren't available anymore and stores for currently available sets.
7. I guess there okay the way it is.
9. Because you didn't want to write it?
10. Nah your not wasting my time, I'm pretty sure there's lots of people that remember you!

3. Can you easily buy Lego products in your country? Yes, but embarrassment usually prevents me from doing so.

5. How long does it take for the latest Lego sets to reach stores? Can't say I know that.
6. Do you buy Lego products in shops or online? Which is easier? Online is easier for me, but if I see something I really want at a store I'll buy it.

Mostly in shops, because it is more convenient.

3. Can you easily buy Lego products in your country - Yes I live new a few stores that sell them

1. What country are you from?
Malaysia.
2. What languages do you speak?
American English, British English, a bit Spanish, Malay and a bit of Arabic.
3. Can you easily buy Lego products in your country?
Well yes.
4. Can you still find Bionicle/older Hero Factory sets in your shops?
Rarely and sometimes I find old HF toys at Toys R Us.
5. How long does it take for the latest Lego sets to reach stores?
I dunno.
6. Do you buy Lego products in shops or online? Which is easier?
Shops. But I bought two BIONICLE books online before. I think shopping is much easier because you don't have to pay extra for shipping.
7. Would you like to see more Lego products available in your country?
Yes. Of course man.

9. Why do you think I missed out the number 8?
Don't say that. Your'e breaking the fourth wall.
10. Am I wasting my time, and does anyone remember me?
Sorta. No. I have no idea who you are. No offence though.

[Riglax]

1. Greece

2. Greek, English and German

3. Sort of, they are in stores.

4. I can find HF sets; but not BIONICLE ones anymore.

5. Like one month later.

6. I don't anymore. I just bought them from stores before.

7. I don't really care right now, but I wouldn't mind either.

9. It was cut from your budget?

10. I remember you now, because we speak the same language and live closer than most people around here.

 

Also, how are things holding up there after the crisis?

[Makuta Almanax]

1. What country are you from?
Merry ol' England!
2. What languages do you speak?
English, of course! Tea, Crumpets, the lot!

3. Can you easily buy Lego products in your country?
Surprisingly, yes. There aren't many lego stores near me but we sure as rahi have toy shops!
4. Can you still find Bionicle/older Hero Factory sets in your shops?

Depends on your definition of 'older' hero factory. Sadly I haven't seen a shop that still sells bionicles (that's why I go to the traditional car boot sale and charity shop), but the Entertainer in Staines-Upon-Thames seems to have miraculously re-stocked all of last year's HF models...like Breeze and Core Hunter. snatched them up as quick as I could - last year was the 'best' so far!
5. How long does it take for the latest Lego sets to reach stores?

I'm not sure. It seems to depend on the theme; the Master Builder thing was released in the US first and we had to wait quite some time. Same goes for other themes now I think about it. We just tend to get it a little bit after the US. I don't know why, considering we're in the same region (Europe) as Lego Central.

6. Do you buy Lego products in shops or online? Which is easier?
I prefer buying them in shops, but online has some advantages...except international purchases for older sets they don't sell. Thank goodness Bricklink has a search filter.
My mum always shops online though. Poor thing doesn't have the physical capacity to go out and search since the nearest shop exclusively for new lego is in London (opposite the BBC HQ, funnily enough...). So I tend to get stuff online as well. It's also my preferred method of browsing through the stock...which has been very sub-par of late.

 

7. Would you like to see more Lego products available in your country?

Definitely! We seem to have it all available anyway, but I'd rather not wait for my teatime lego!
 

9. Why do you think I missed out the number 8?
So we could play the nonary game even though there are 10 questions?

 

10. Am I wasting my time, and does anyone remember me?

Never heard of you...

[Damaracx 7.0]

1. America
2. English, a little Spanish not much however, and some Greek.
3. In my country in general?  Yes.  Where I live in my country?  No.  I have to drive for what takes an hour just to get to the nearest store with Lego Products, although there is a store that just takes 30 minutes to get to that you see a few at every once in a while.  However, new products take quite a while to get there.
4. Yep.
5. 1 month for the farest away store, about 5 to 6 months with the other.
6. Shops?  Yes.  Online?  Sometimes.  Which is easier?  Not sure.
7. It's America.  We practically have a lot.
9. You had to miss a number with perfect symmetry, didn't you? 
10. I thought I remembered you from some where....

[Hahli Husky]

1. What country are you from?

I live in Canada now so I'll speak from that, but I'm from the USA. Wheeeee ~

2. What languages do you speak?

English. I know some words and phrases from other languages, mostly Japanese because I watched too much anime in college, but I'm not gonna try to be cool by pretending I actually speak those languages. I can barely keep track of English as it is.

3. Can you easily buy Lego products in your country?

Yeah, but they're cheaper in the states and I live 10 minutes from the Canada/USA border, so I tend to buy LEGO there instead.

4. Can you still find Bionicle/older Hero Factory sets in your shops?

I've seen them in some local discount and thrift stores that get old stock.

5. How long does it take for the latest Lego sets to reach stores?

Not sure about other places, but in this area (not very close to any major cities), it can take at least a couple of weeks after most US stores have them.

6. Do you buy Lego products in shops or online? Which is easier?

In shops; I'm too impatient to wait for the 1 - 2 weeks of shipping time!

7. Would you like to see more Lego products available in your country?

More LEGO is always awesome, but I think we're okay here! They're even putting in a new LEGO store about 30 minutes from where I live.

9. Why do you think I missed out the number 8?

You thought it would be a quirky thing to do.

10. Am I wasting my time, and does anyone remember me?

You're not wasting it as much as many other people, and yeah I definitely recognize your username!

1. What country are you from? Good old 'Merica

5. How long does it take for the latest Lego sets to reach stores? We get them pretty early.
6. Do you buy Lego products in shops or online? Which is easier? Generally in stores, neither is any more difficult fortunately. In fact, I'm going to the Cincinnati Lego store today! 
7. Would you like to see more Lego products available in your country? We don't need them.
9. Why do you think I missed out the number 8? Becuz ur soooo randum!!!111!1
10. Am I wasting my time, and does anyone remember me? You most certainly are not, and I wouldn't recognize you given my time off as well.

2. I speak both norwegian and english fluently
3. Yes
4. I'd be hard pressed to find Bionicle sets nowadays, but Hero Factory is easy enough to find
5. As Katuko said, Lego being based in Denmark is an advantage

7. Can't really see anything that's missing
9. Katuko already summed it up perfectly
10. No, but I'm fairly new here, so I don't remember you

1. The USA

2. English and I'm quickly learning Russian, considering I live in Moscow.

3. Yeah, there's a couple of LEGO stores here, I believe, and any large store will have a LEGO section in Moscow.

4. I don't really look for LEGO sets here, but I'm pretty sure there are mainly the newer sets. I have never seen Bionicle here.

5. I wouldn't know, I don't follow LEGO very closely. I did a lot more in the states, but here I don't have the space to buy sets. It's a shame. :\

6. This one is a given after reading the first few before it.

7. Nah, I consider Moscow to have a nice supply of LEGO's.

9. For the same reason I'm skipping number 8...

10. I suppose it depends on your concept of life. Ultimately, writing posts on a forum about a discontinued LEGO toyline daily on the Internet on a computer instead of being active and doing something productive is pretty much a waste of time. But hey, wasting time is what us BZP people like to do, and we do it well. Your name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it. Regardless, I know you from somewhere...
