What time do you plan on being there on Friday?

Sounds like a plan! You might just want to give the owner a call first so that you know you'll have a chance to get some face time with him for filming.

Anytime Friday should be fine. But the best time would be before school finishes, that is before 3pm, as it can get fairly busy bewteen 3 and 5 pm.

I should be there after 9am and will be well gone before school is out lol i can't wait to see this store.

My viewers online are going to go nuts about this store.

My trip to bricks n fun was a blast I love the store lay out with retail in the front and a big build room out the back with displays from BLTG it was nice to meet the owner and talk little about my youtube channel as well i got some good ideas for up and coming show what will be back middle of next month.

100% if you are on the Brisbane Bayside go and drop in and says hello as the store is full of LEGO kits we don't see in retail stores here in Australia.

This is not in full 720p as this was for my blog on my 2nd channel

I'm very impressed with this concept and hope the owner of BRICKS n FUN keeps it going for many years to come as I would love to venture into the store someday

I would love to have that KFC Store in my collection too !!!

Well the mind behind Bricks N Fun is smazh he has been planing this store for years now and to see his first store open mid DEC last year has seen his dream come true for him.

I am happy to support his store in my videos and get the word out there.

I know all my sisters kids would love to build in the build room with 100's kits and draws of LEGO to build with all day.

The big display was made by BLTG its there old display from last year and now i am a part of this group.

one day i would like to see this store go Australia wide as its one of kind business for the Australian market.

Very cool. We were thinking of dropping in there this weekend (but have a sick toddler).

Love the building at 5:34, that is really lovely (like the whole layout, but that is my favourite building).

Building at 5.34 is the Breakfast Creek Hotel. Big thanks to shieldzee1 for posting this on U tube. Come back anytime!
See you at BRICKS N FUN where you can have FUN with BRICKS!!!

That is something I personally would love to see happen too

I personally have been looking around to get myself started up and running but have failed at it because I haven't worked out the right clientele and location for such a venture as yet.

Sometime in the near future I will get there but as for now I need to concentrate on the display concept as this is something that will ultimately attract kids of all shapes and sizes into such a store

I guess it comes down to dollars, effort and patience to successfully see the results which I believe will come to fellow Tasmanians who like me love bricks !!!

Free Spirit,

The KFC and Pizza Hut were built by one of our BLTG members from Toowoomba.

He had to do a lot of research to find photos of the original style for those fast food places.

The detail inside the KFC is fantastic; he is working on lighting inside.

I believe his next project is an original MacChunder.

The Breeky Creek Hotel was built by one of your former BUGS colleagues. I agree that it is magnificent and it is a great crowd pleaser at train shows,

For some reason when asked to identify it, most blokes, maybe after a little help, will quickly come up with the correct answer.

Of course, some will complain that there are no wooden kegs on the public bar or no sign of the famous steakhouse out the back; I always quote council planning regulations.

The tall white building is the facade of the Queensland Country Life building opposite the Customs House in Queen St. This was also built by Ker.... Whoops.
Anita, I'll let you guess who it was.

It is so true to life but the original now has a 40 story office tower behind it.

Anyone who builds an original icon such as those stated will be the envy of their fellow enthusiasts so I will be waiting to hear more about his next project being a MacChunder

The down side to my trip there was i didn't have any money to spend i could of walk out there with $100 of Lego as there was kit i could not buy any were around Brisbane or Australia

I am a bad Brisbanite. I didn't know what the Breakfast Creek Hotel looked like, I just goggled it and it is a brilliant version. I should have known it was built by Kerry, she is an excellent building builder.

Well its looking like i need to go back to bricks n fun to stock up on some parts for my new train i am building.

so far i got the base done just need little bits to make it look like a train lol my guess i be doing alot of trips over the next mth.

been look around what is in his bricklink store and trying not build with bricks i don't have or can't get from bricks n fun.

Its good have a lego store only 20kms away from home

been to bricks n fun today just pick up the cargo train not the kit just the train and some parts i need for my MOC train.
