Since launching in 2012, LEGO Friends has grown into one of the LEGO Group’s most beloved home-grown franchises, extending beyond physical play through animated series, digital content, books and experiences that have connected with audiences around the world.

The extension comes as part of GMG Productions’ commitment to providing more opportunities for meaningful, educational, and enjoyable experiences for Filipino audiences.

“We wanted to make sure more families and young builders have the opportunity to visit and be inspired by this extraordinary exhibit,” said Carlos Candal, CEO of GMG Productions. “Brickman Wonders of the World is more than just a display; it’s an experience that sparks creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. Extending the run allows us to share that experience with an even wider audience.”

Valentine’s Day often comes with a familiar checklist: a bouquet of roses, a box of chocolates, and a carefully planned date. But this year, LEGO® Botanicals is offering a playful alternative. With the campaign “This Valentine’s, Keep It Fresh,” the beloved toy brand is turning Valentine’s gifting into something hands-on and memorable. Couples, friends, or even solo builders can now celebrate love by creating it themselves, one brick at a time.

Alongside these new sets, favorites like the Bouquet of Roses (10328) and Bouquet of Pink Roses (10374) offer a fresh take on traditional Valentine’s florals, while lighter arrangements such as the Bouquet of Pretty Pink Flowers (10342), Flower Bouquet (10280), and Wildflower Bouquet (10313) lend a softer, more contemporary feel. For those looking for a graphic, design-led twist, the collection also features LEGO® Art Love (31214) which doubles as a home accent.
See It, Build It, Love It

About the LEGO Group
The LEGO Group’s mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through the power of play. The LEGO System in Play, with its foundation in LEGO bricks, allows children and fans to build and rebuild anything they can imagine.
The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg Godt, which mean “Play Well.” Today, the LEGO Group remains a family- owned company headquartered in Billund. However, its products are now sold in more than 130 countries worldwide.

With the holiday season around the corner, The LEGO Group today announced what kids desire the most this Christmas. In a survey conducted in partnership with global market research firm Dynata, it was found that of the 1,100 kids from the Asia-Pacific region surveyed, those between 3-12 years old most desire gifts that can harness their creativity and expression, while offering infinite ways to play.
Top of their wish list were toys that give them flexibility and freedom to play repeatedly in a myriad of ways (89%), while also allowing them to push the limits of their creativity (87%). The children also shared that they want toys that allow them to stretch their imagination. While screen-time has taken over both parents and kids’ lives, surprisingly, many kids still prefer physical toys over digital games, with close to 4 out of 5 kids surveyed choosing open-ended toys, as compared to just over half who chose digital games.
What is also of interest is that LEGO sets were desired by both boys and girls as the gift which they most wanted for Christmas (70% for boys and 60% for girls). Conversely, other toys had a large disparity in the genders that chose them – 50% of boys versus 15% of girls chose toys like action figures, while 56% of girls versus 8% of boys chose toys like dolls.
Top 10 LEGO sets for Christmas
To get families started, The LEGO Group has put together the top 10 sets of the year across themes like LEGO CITY, LEGO Technic, and LEGO Friends to build a child’s dream this Christmas!

For children who love adventures, they can make a splash with the 41720 LEGO Friends Waterpark that features the water cannon and spinning octopus; or spend a day role-playing as a princess in the 43024 LEGO Disney Princess Anna and Olaf’s Castle to enjoy hours of endless fun and storytelling opportunities.

Rohan Mathur, Marketing Director, Southeast Asia at The LEGO Group, said: “This Christmas, we are keen to enable children in the Philippines to build a playful holiday together with their families as we take pride in the open-ended play offered by our Top 10 sets that meets their desire to have creative and infinite ways to build and rebuild.”
