Every aspect of the LEGO Certified Store is designed and made by The LEGO Group, including one of the most popular features, the Pick-a-Brick (PAB) Wall. The wall is a custom-built fixture with cylindrical canisters 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.

In Singapore’s LEGO Certified Store, the PAB cups come in two sizes, the S$34.90 can fit about 325 pieces while the S$19.90 can fit about 125 pieces.
