Sydney to get its own official LEGO Store!
So fantastic news for Sydneysiders, it looks like it’s super, super official – Sydney is going to be getting an official LEGO Store at Westfield Bondi Junction in New South Wales.
The flagship store is set to open on 21 March 2019 and can be found on Oxford Street at Westfield Bondi Junction, right next to the Apple store.
So apart from the this massive signage at the store-frontage which alludes to this being Sydney’s first LEGO Store (they gonna just pretend that Birkenhead Point never existed??)

It’s also been confirmed that it will be a LEGO Certified Store, and will cover 302 square meters over two floors.
LEGO Store staples such as the Pick a Brick Wall, and Build a Minifigure Station, as well as Brick Engraving have all been confirmed for the shop. There will also be a dedicated area for children’s parties which sounds like fun.
All in all this should be very well-received by Sydneysiders as they’ve often felt left out from the lack of an official-type store that Melbourne and the Gold Coast currently enjoy.
Can’t wait for more news to be revealed on this – my guess is that the opening will coincide with the general release of The LEGO Movie 2 in late March, to capitalise on all the buzz from the movie.
Let me know in the comments if you’re excited about the prospect of a LEGO Store opening up in Sydney!

And before I wrap things up, here’s a wonderful blast from the past – a TV ad promoting the Birkenhead Point LEGO Store – the rightful “first LEGO store in Sydney”.
