I was invited to check out the trade show presentation of the official distributor of LEGO here in the Philippines, and it was our first meet up after our give and take email conversation for the preparation of LEGO to be part of the ToyCon event this coming June 2008 and also in informing everyone that LEGO is back again here and you can now spot it everywhere in all leading local toy stores. The event was held in Max Restaurant in Tiendesitas.

I just saw the first line of LEGO line little kids, and they are so cute and the style of the characters are much more bigger than the character size we know, perfect toy for younglings and the size of the toy fits to the grasp of your little kids. And if you complete the whole set, you can combine a big community of LEGOs. Also there is a LEGO Belville is like the Barbie of LEGO, this playset is for girls.
Other cool set is the LEGO Creator, this set really attracts not only kids, but us adults. The new line features solo set vehicles and also a starter for making your own train set. There is also an electronic operated helicopter and a spider. The one that caught my eyes is the RORO vehicle, and the LEGO City police station set. It was big and it is a great set for kids who wants to have their own city and also adults who like to have their own miniature model of a certain city.
Its great to see this LEGO city and if you have the entire set you can make your own entire city, with homes, hospitals, police station, fire station, bank, and have your own customized Las Vegas with online casino. Wish you can make it if you have a big space in your home, you need a big warehouse to make an entire state in a Lego-lize format.
I'm skipping this short review now, and lets move on to the movie line LEGO set.
There's a Speed Racer Lego, but unfortunately the actual toy sample is not available on that they and they are still in some trade show overseas, but we got a close encounter on how big the box is and what other characters included for the movie line of Speed Racer. Batman LEGO set is so cute! the Tumbler Batmobile, model style inspired from the Batman Begins movie is also materializes into a LEGO!, I'm not really sure if it fits for the upcoming movie the DARK KNIGHT, because the set is labeled as BATMAN only, but if you grab the box set, you can get one toy and a free Joker gang and vehicle, perfect match for the Batmobile, plus! the Joker is included in the set.
Indiana Jones is one sought toy, (personally I predicted) it features Indiano Jones LEGO style with a whip, includes a snake, spider and bonfire toy, villains are also included in the set.
I just saw a big spoiler for the upcoming Star Wars Clone Wars tv series, I just saw some new characters coming up and I'm going to skip for now and not reveal it. In the toy line there's a new look on Anakin Skywalker and also on some Clone troopers.
On the Bionicle LEGO series was shown in its last line (as Mark Cerbo said) and for the first time the villains from the Bionicle tv series is now available on LEGO. A Lego racer is now part of the toy line, its a friction pull power vehicle toy and it includes a exhibition stunt ramp were you can also play daredevil stunts for your Lego racer toy.
And lastly for serious LEGO collectors. They had unveiled to us a Ferrari model LEGO, and its a big item for a car collector. There are 3 kinds of car models and for Ferrari fans, this is a big collectible for them.
We stayed there til the event nearly ends, me, Mark, Mach and Arlene of Philippines Bricksters, LEGO fan community in the Philippines, supported and will help build a community for LEGO lovers/collectors/fans here. And thanks for the official distributor for inviting us to be part of a big history of showing that LEGO is still alive~
