LEGO stores in Australia.

Well. Lego seem to finally be getting into the Australian retail market by opening up Lego stores under license. (We also got our own warehouse so no more waiting for a week or 2 for our sets to come)

There is one in Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney and an article I read says they want to open one or two in each major city.

So I thought this thread could be used to inform of other stores opening around the country.

I hope Lego stores do well here and it makes it easy to go and get hard to find and exclusive sets under one roof over finding out which retailer has which set as an exclusive.

Having its own warehouse opens up the possibility that Australia could still have sets available that have long since sold out in other regions.

As far as I know, there are no plans for any actual Brand stores, so no VIP cards and no guarantee for any special offers or GWPs, but I'm certain Pick-a-brick etc. are going to be in the Sydney store, at least.

Unfortunately the warehouse, while making things much quicker and cheaper for us, has an issue with demand for certain sets being much more than they can keep up with - especially where other countries have no issue. I think it's getting a little better now, though. Hopefully they overshoot and we end up seeing retired sets all over Lego stores. That happens quite frequently with Toyworld.
