The new shop on Dublin's Grafton Street, has features such as 'mini-figure factory', where people can design and create their own Lego person.
Hundreds have made the trip from across the country, queuing since the early hours of this morning.
A father and son from Wexford were the first to cross the threshold this morning:

A wrist band system has been in place since 8am, as well as a time limit for browsing of 30 minutes - it's expected that system will remain in place over the weekend.
The store contains plenty of Irish references too, including a model of the Poolbeg Towers, the Aviva Stadium, a very big LEGO camogie player with a large Dublin mural.
