Do you bring along your favourite toys on your holiday trips?

2010 LEGO Kingdoms - Green Dragon Knight minifig with cape.

I recall reading about a similar topic to this on Jcee’s blog some time ago.  I’ll be going off for my mid year short vacation to Hong Kong tomorrow and will be back 5 days later. 

While I’ve finished packing all the things I need to use for my trip, I’m still considering whether to bring a toy along for fun photography while on holiday.  I used to do this many years ago when I was much newer into toy collecting.  For my previous vacation to the US last year, I didn’t do it.

One thing about bringing toys out with me is that I worry they might get damaged, lose their parts, or worse, get completely lost by some unforeseen mishap, which I am not prepared to accept.  That’s why my toys are called collectibles that are supposed to stay at home and just look pretty for my enjoyment, LOL!

Oh well, I might as well forget this thought and just go on my long overdue holiday without any toys.  Maybe I’ll buy a new toy in Hong Kong and take photos of it there.  That would be a good alternative!

      Bring a toy which you think will be good taking picture with the environment. Something small.

      Hmm i do bring toys along for photoshoots even during weekdays haha. Just those small ones like tofu boys or ugly dolls (vinyl type) which can survive those trips!

      Hi Juliana,
      I just found a very good website by a local Lego blogger. It has alot of latest information on Lego release and where to buy.

      I like the idea cos I recent brought my Gundam keychain during my Batam trip and took pics of it and yes, the process is fun and memorable.
