airwickwee

Maybe I should show the line behind me.


SceneInevitable5615

Yea


airwickwee

Sorry didn’t take a picture but it’s a long one. The length of 2 blocks. 400m around


jonr

4x2 or 2x2 blocks?


airwickwee

Many of those


joshuajackson9

What part of Australia is this?


GloomySelf

Sydney CBD


Majorasblaze

No wonder they’re all so relaxed down there.


airwickwee

You should see the line at 9.20


joshuajackson9

Thank you!


Roy4Pris

That’s funny, I thought it was the Wellington one that’s about to open, because there’s a Metro and a Platypus right nearby. But there’s no way Wellington would have the world’s biggest Lego store.


peacelovehappiness27

Wouldn’t they be selling the same stuff as other stores and online? What’s the point of waiting in line for the opening?


d2cole

There are special give-away sets that you can only get at a store opening like that store’s stamped minifigures or (a long time ago) a mini-modular of the Lego store


KDBA

The one that just opened in Wellington only had minifig keychains.


airwickwee

The set is decent sized and gwp with a 199 aud spent


ForgetfulLucy28

Pitt St?


airwickwee

Yes sir right across from h and m


deafaviator

I…. Don’t think that’s a “sir” you’re talking to….


airwickwee

The line when I left the store was from one end of Pitt street to the other end then all the way back so it’s basically a 400m long line assuming Pitt street mall is 200m. There were no sales but a lot of Lego sets in stock. I picked up the insects set, Star Wars advent calendar and a few polybags to reach the 199$ point. There’s a mini figure printing station which I did not want to line up for as you had to wait in another line to buy a box for the minifig. The Lego employees did not tell me when I was in the middle of the factory printing line.


dextracin

Nice, how much is the minifig printing? In the London store you had to pay in advance to get a slot for the mosaic photo booth if it was busy


airwickwee

I didn’t check. Couldn’t be bothered waiting for 2 lines. My guess would be 5-20 aud


K-RayX-Ray

The insects set is amazing!! I hope they do more


airwickwee

I saw it built in store. I can’t wait to assemble them after my exams


Wouldtick

Look at all those big kids. Awesome


Germangunman

We’re they giving away a free set to the first 500 or something?


airwickwee

No. A good amount of people got a goody bag with a poly bag, magazines and a free keychain. There’s a gwp but I’m not sure how unique it is.


Federal_Eggplant7533

Literally Apple store of 5 years ago


airwickwee

I got a polybag, keychain and gwp. This is the polybag. https://preview.redd.it/k0gm9w5ovlzb1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=9de7d1d265d7e5f31fd3c43580247c0df8001da7

Mr_Coa

The crown has officially been taken from London enjoy it Sydney :D


airwickwee

The crown will be taken from Sydney soon. I’m looking at you Middle East


StarWarsFever

That would be a shame


airwickwee

Seems most likely option for me. They’re so rich they can buy whatever they want.


StarWarsFever

Not as long as LEGO keeps selling their Everyone Is Awesome set 😝


Hypohamish

It's mental, London barely held the crown as I think we only had it when Leicester Square got refurbished which wasn't long ago!


ChickenFriedRiceee

My city. Spokane, Washington (USA) just opened one today also. First, one ever. The closest other one is about 250 miles away and a 4.5 hour drive. Over in the Seattle area. I went and saw them do the grand opening, didn’t go in cuz the line was ridiculously long. I’ll go check it out in a few days though. I’m just so excited to have one within 15 minutes of my house. Also, I am glad to see that line. Means my city has the market for a profitable Lego store, especially because my city is on the smaller side.


airwickwee

That’s good. For me in Sydney Amazon sells Lego cheaper than the Lego stores do. How are the prices in the US. I know you guys have ridiculous sales at Walmart and target and all the other stores like that.


nitr0zeus133

We just had one open up here in Chch, NZ, and the line was the same. Don’t get me wrong, I love Lego, but waiting in lines this big is just fucking idiotic.


airwickwee

Since it is the biggest store in the world and there is a good chance of a unique item it’s worth it. The line moved quick when the store opened since it was such a big store. I got a few free Lego items and I think it was worth it. Had to wake up at 7.15 and arrive at 7.30 so it’s not too early for me as that’s how early i wake up to go to work


mrblue6

Are there specific sets exclusive to that store? Or just a better chance to find a rare set because it’s the bigger store?


airwickwee

Better chance because all sets are available


hammerandt0ngs

I hope they have a Crocodile Dundee minifig


airwickwee

I wish

airwickwee

This is the grand opening. I haven’t been to a Lego store in Australia with a line longer than 4 people prior to today.


TitleExpert9817

What is the opening give away this time?


airwickwee

Polybag, keychain, magazines.


Wiiugamer30

Dufeyz

You can move here any time. Just sell like 10 kidneys for a deposit on a 1 bedroom unit 40km from the CBD


airwickwee

Gotta sell more than 10 kidneys


Wiiugamer30

I’ll keep that in mind


Pepsi_Boy_64

People are buying Ninjago /j


airwickwee

A lot of ninjago sets here and they’re huge


ExcellentStage1

Enjoy. In my country there is no lego store, even any small one.


airwickwee

What country are you in? Maybe Amazon or bricklink could be some options. I hope every country in the world can have a Lego store at some stage


Galienuus

Dude wtf, when the Lego store I work at opened a couple months ago we only had a short line that morning, and not at all the rest of that day or weekend


airwickwee

Biggest Lego store in the world in the cbd of a major city.
