Limerick Exhibition (October) We had a fantastic turnout for the LimBrickCity exhibition over the weekend with members bringing along lots of brick built magic to join in the fun. Among the items on display were a literal microfig-scale Ireland, an 18th century tall-ship, a Pub and Bazaar, a combined Ninjago City and Docks, a shopping mall (where one can buy more bricks) and a Hogwarts Express (to get home). The Irish LEGO User Group would like to thank our friends at LimBrickCity for helping host the great day. Discover bigger (and better!) pictures of these great builds on the forum. Lug.ie Team  ...

Culture Night Exhibition Round-up We’d like to thank all those who came along to our Culture Night LEGO exhibition at the Civic Centre in Blanchardstown, Dublin and all our members for bringing along and showing their collections and creations. We were particularly happy to see members Nicky and Merlin display their fantastic wares for the first time. The exhibit was very well attended and there was a lot of enthusiasm for everything that was on display. Nicky's motorized bulldozerr and Royalridge's customised LED lit up Millennium Falcon were not surprisingly among the crowd favourites. But can you spot BB-8 keeping an eye on things? Here's looking forward to the next show! Lug.ie Team ...

With a huge variety of creations on show, from custom made Brickheadz and stop-motion videos to electrified Helicarriers, it sure was an enjoyable day for all (including some AFOLs who tip-toed out of the closet!).
