Opening of the new LEGO store in Dublin.

Westmeath's LEGO super fans delighted with new store

The excitement is building across the midlands as Ireland's first ever LEGO store opened its doors yesterday on Grafton Street in Dublin.

Children and adults alike queued at the grand opening after months of anticipation with many coming from county Westmeath.

Shoppers can create personalised products, such as custom mini figures, they can choose specific items from the 'Pick a Brick Wall' and compete in monthly building challenges.

The store also features 3D LEGO models inspired by Irish culture.
