Fellow toy enthusiasts! After battling in the world of "New MapleStory" for so many years, it's time to step out and explore. "New MapleStory" has created many classics in the virtual world, and now it's leaving that realm to come to us in person with the "New MapleStory" Play with the Maple Trend Block Exhibition event, held from August 15th to August 28th at SKM Park Outlets in Kaohsiung. If you love "New MapleStory" and LEGO, you absolutely must come see it in person!
The "New MapleStory" Play with the Maple Trend Block Exhibition at SKM Park Outlets in Kaohsiung is now underway.
The "New MapleStory" Play with the Maple Trend Block Exhibition is heading straight to Kaohsiung, held at SKM Park Outlets, just a short walk from the Caoya MRT station! "New MapleStory" is celebrating its 17th anniversary. To commemorate the 2017 Guinness World Record set by 1,558 players who formed a human maple leaf totem, they have specially teamed up with Taiwan's one and only LEGO Certified Professional, Mr. Huang Yan-Zhi, a name well-known to toy enthusiasts and LEGO players. Together, they have created a gigantic 4-meter maple leaf brick wall, towering over one story high. This massive "Maple Leaf" wall, built piece by piece with LEGO bricks, represents the memories created by "New MapleStory" players over the past 17 years! Players must make a pilgrimage to this maple leaf brick wall, because you are part of the great "New MapleStory" family. And for LEGO fans, this is an event you simply cannot miss.
