Build City | Stores with Toys

Build City, at Level 4 of Shangri-La Plaza Mall, is all about building and construction kits.  

So besides the classic and perfunctory LEGO blocks, Build City carries toys by PLAYMOBIL (those miniature plastic figures you can detach from head to foot), SCHLEICH (realistically-painted animal plastic figures), imported from Germany.  At Build City, they've color-coded the price for the SCHLEICH figures: PhP 149 is the cheapest and the prices understandably go up as the models become more bigger and intricate.  

At that rate, a simple menagerie of barn animals will cost you thousands.  But then, some people apparently dig that.  Schleich also makes the Smurf figures, which is good now that those 80's blue-skinned folks are back with a movie of their own.

There's also HERPA (miniature toy vehicles), D-TORSO (those 3D cardboard jigsaw models, you turn into a horse or a whale or even a human skeleton), and many more.  

There's even a free play area for kids, with loads of Lego blocks lying there, just waiting for tiny hands to snap them into place.
