TAGUIG CITY — The worlds of brick‑building and anime have collided at Park Triangle Mall in Bonifacio Global City, where the LEGO Certified Store is hosting its “Grand Adventure” One Piece event. Running until August 14, 2026, the experience invites fans young and old to step into the pirate‑filled universe of the beloved manga and Netflix series.
A Life‑Size Ship Steals the Show
The centerpiece is a life‑size replica of the Going Merry, the iconic caravel that carried the Straw Hat Pirates through their earliest adventures. Visitors can pose beside its smiling figurehead, capturing a moment that feels lifted straight from the anime. The ship has become the event’s most popular photo destination, drawing queues of excited fans.
Beyond the ship, the venue buzzes with the energy of discovery. Display cases showcase the new 2026 LEGO One Piece sets, giving collectors an up‑close look at the intricate details before they purchase. Staff members guide visitors through the features of each set, explaining how the brick‑built Baratie restaurant or Drum Castle comes to life.
The 2026 Collection Drops Anchor
The newly released sets range from manageable builds to ambitious display pieces. The Going Merry itself arrives as a 1,376‑piece model complete with interior cabins and the full Straw Hat crew. For seasoned builders, the 3,402‑piece Baratie floating restaurant offers a stunning challenge, recreating the ocean‑going eatery where Sanji joined Luffy’s crew.
Smaller playsets like the 926‑piece Battle at Arlong Park feature collapsible structures and interactive elements that appeal to younger fans. A 1,038‑piece Battle at Drum Castle introduces the beloved reindeer‑doctor Tony Tony Chopper. BrickHeadz collectibles of Luffy and Buggy the Clown round out the offerings for those seeking a compact build.
Activities, Prizes, and Hands‑On Fun
The event goes beyond static displays by inviting guests to participate in building challenges. Interactive stations let visitors test their creativity with loose bricks, while friendly competitions offer exclusive LEGO prizes. The hands‑on format ensures that even casual shoppers become part of the pirate adventure.
Children gravitate toward the play areas where they can construct their own mini‑ships and characters. Parents mingle nearby, discovering that the brick‑building hobby bridges generations. The atmosphere feels less like a retail promotion and more like a community gathering built around a shared love of storytelling.
A Pop‑Culture Phenomenon Meets Brick Art
The collaboration between LEGO and Netflix’s One Piece adaptation reflects the growing appetite for anime‑inspired collectibles. For Filipino fans, the event brings a global franchise directly to a local mall, eliminating the need to travel abroad for exclusive merchandise. The pop‑up also introduces new audiences to the joy of building, using a beloved narrative as the gateway.
How to Join the Adventure
Park Triangle Mall sits at the corner of 11th Avenue and 32nd Street in BGC, easily reached via BGC bus or private vehicle. The event runs during regular mall hours, and entry is free. With only days remaining before the Going Merry sails away, organizers encourage visitors to drop by soon.
