Fun,
intuitive and simple – these are the hallmarks of toy design that made the LEGO
bricks and minifigures the most beloved toys worldwide. A brainchild of
carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen who introduced it in Denmark stores in 1932, the
brand soon went global and it did not take long when it became a hit in the
Philippines, earning a steadily growing following from children and those young
at heart who use each LEGO piece to build toys and realities straight from their
imagination.
Encapsulating
the dream of its founder to “inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow,” the
global toymaker continues to expand its presence in the Philippine market by
opening LEGO’s Third Certified Store in Trinoma Mall, Quezon City on November
12, 2016.
A LEGO Certified
Store offers the following unique features that inspire and develop the
builders of tomorrow through creative free play and developing the imagination:
- Pick-a-Brick wall (PAB) – a custom-built fixture filled with LEGO bricks and elements where shoppers can hand-pick and select what they need to build something based on their own design and imagination.
- Fully assembled LEGO sets around the circumference of the store to inspire LEGO fans.
- An interactive play area that’s prominently positioned in the centre of the store to give children a “hands-on, minds-on” experience with LEGO bricks.
- Exclusive LEGO sets available
The
store is the third in a series of stores that will open from Manila to Davao in
the country under LEGO’s “Better With Every Brick” campaign. LEGO together with
UNICEF Philippines, UN’s agency that supports children’s welfare, will work
together to help build the first National Centre for Children with Disabilities
in Philippine General Hospital. To support UNICEF’s program, a portion of the sales
at LEGO Certified Stores in the country will be donated for the Centre’s
construction. LEGO will also issue a cheque worth Php 500,000 as part of the
fundraising drive to raise a total of Php 10 Million for the construction of
the Centre.
“The
LEGO brand goes beyond being one of the top global toymakers, we are a beloved
builder of childhood fantasies. We aim to inspire and engage the world’s
builder by injecting fun into play. This partnership with UNICEF Philippines
resonates well with this dream to extend the opportunity to help more children
by bringing the National Centre for Children with Disabilities to reality,” said
LEGO executive.
“And
LEGO fans can pitch in this initiative of making the world ‘Better With Every
Brick,’” said LEGO executive.
It’s
the brick that keeps on building!
