The Castle Towers store is set to feature some jaw-dropping LEGO custom built models including a large 3D brick-built model called the ‘Conversationalist Koala Girl’ which is comprised of 39,125 LEGO bricks and took more than 259 hours of building time.

Matt Robertson, general manager of AG Lego Certified Stores, said: “Conversationalist Koala Girl is a nod to the local area and local wildlife.

“There is obviously a koala sanctuary in the area and with every store there is something unique and for Castle Towers we thought it was a perfect fit.”

Another feature of the store will be the LEGO ‘Pick a Brick Wall’ where customers can grab a cup and fill it with their choice of bricks and elements, with endless combinations of shapes and colours to choose from.

“Pick a brick is such an amazing concept for every child and every adult,” he said. “It’s a dream to just free form build and it is at the heart of what LEGO truly is.

“It lets you be creative and develop and build creations directly from your imagination.”

“We have been wanting to get into this centre for quite a while.

“We can see through our research that there is a massive demand for LEGO and the LEGO experience in Castle Hill and we have been waiting for the right opportunity. We wanted to open earlier but obviously Covid slowed us down a little but we are really excited to be finally opening.”
