- LEGO Certified Stores: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide.
- Brickman exhibitions, LEGO shows tour nationally.
Why No Australian Legoland?
- Market size (~26M) vs. capital cost (~$500M+).
- Seasonal climate extremes (heat, storms).
- Competition: Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World (Gold Coast); Luna Park (Sydney/Melbourne).
- Merlin Entertainments (owner) prioritized Asia/China expansion.
Brisbane families visit Legoland Discovery Centre Melbourne (flight + 1 hr drive) or await potential future announcement.
