This is the first LEGO store in the Philippines. It’s a bit expensive but is a fair deal.
There are some newly released Lego sets like Simpsons, some old ones like Ninja Go and Star Wars, and some hard to find Lego sets like Minecraft.
There are tables where you can play Duplo and see Legos in display cases. You can engrave your names on bricks, and you can choose the color of the brick and the text.
Let me tour you around the first Lego Certified Store in the Philippines:
This is a sneak peek inside the Lego Store
LEGO CREATOR
Meet the first customer, Jill Lejano with her new Lego Creator Detective’s Office set.
A closer look at the 2,262-piece Lego Detective’s Office 10246.

LEGO MINECRAFT – My Favorite Lego Section
Here’s the Minecraft Crafting Box 21116 that has 500+ bricks and 10+ models to make. It costs P4,799.75.
And in front of the Crafting Box it shows you some of the bricks that you can use.
Here’s Steve in full diamond set going to battle the Ender Dragon and the Endermans 21117.
This is the back of the Ender Dragon set that costs around P5,599.75.
The biggest and most expensive Minecraft set – the Mine Shaft 21118 (P7,999.75).
It has TNT that explodes when a lever is pulled, you can place TNT in mine carts that can move with a push, and there are spider webs + ores like diamond and iron. The set includes Steve with armor and a weapon, a pickaxe, and some mobs.
This is the House of Steve 21115 which costs P3,199.75.
Here’s the Minecraft farm set 21114 (P2,399.75) which you can add to the house. It has a weird looking pumpkin that Steve can wear [not in real life].
We were the first boy customers in this store, and this is what we bought.
This is the Minecraft set we bought and constructed. Steve’s house with a creeper, a pig, wooden tools, and bread or sausage.
You can make your own creations… just don’t follow the instructions.

This is me and my bros [brothers] with our first Minecraft set.
Here’s a promo if you have a single receipt purchase of P3,000+, you can get these for free from:
- May 12 to 13: Valentines set
- May 14 to 15: Painting Easter eggs set, and
- May 16 to 17: Build A Mini set of 3 (worth P499.75)

You’re quite the writer, Aidan! The content was great, but I was particularly impressed with your grammar and use of the Oxford comma. Looking forward to more posts by you!
great post!
we are excited for this…the kids are already making their own wish list. 🙂
Aidan, you wrote a very good article on the Lego Store! I will make sure to tell my friends to show their kids your post so that they can plan on visiting the store. What’s the next thing you’re planning to buy there? I’m saving up to buy the Death Star for my husband for his birthday (he’s a grown up but loves Star Wars). I’m looking forward to reading more posts from you in the future. What do you want to write about next?
It’s an amazing post, Aidan! You write very well and you DO KNOW your stuff! Impressive! I look forward to reading your next article!

@Peejay – Thank you Peejay
@Daniel -Ok I’ll tell my dad [photographer] . Also thank you.
@Clay – thanks for the comment .
Nice lego store, did you see a lego hotel?
thank you soooooo much for this now i know where to go to look for lego
I’m sorry but charging $228 over and above the Lego retail price of $399 for the Death Star is not “a bit expensive”, it’s ridiculously expensive and overpriced. The Creator set – overpriced by $75 – after this, I didn’t bother to look at the rest – usual overpricing which we have come to expect and accustomed to here in this country.
Can we buy thru cash on delivery considering that we are from Iligan City-Mindanao. thanks.
Is it cheaper to buy Lego in the Philippines or in Legoland Malaysia?
Hi. Do you know if they have star wars r2d2 minifigure? Thank you.
Hi I liked your tour in the Lego Store. Is there a 2×2 tile in the pick a brick section? Thank You.
Available po ba sa store nyo ang Lego Robotics ? How much po …PM nyo po .
