BrickCan 2023 This Weekend!
Welcome AFOLS from around the world to BrickCan 2023, taking place in Richmond BC this weekend.
Some determined VicLUG members braved bad weather, ferry cancellations, long waits and eventually a bumpy ferry ride to attend this year. Come say ‘hi’ and see what we’ve built for this year’s convention.
We hope you all have a great time!
Castle Display Was Successfully Defended From the Skeleton Hordes
VicLUG’s Castle and Keep display at Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair successfully defended itself from being overrun by the skeleton army. Over 1000 skeleton minifigures attempted to storm the castle, assisted by trolls, dragons and a variety of other creatures. But the stalwart minifigure knights and soldiers held their ground and made it through the 48 hour siege.
Come See VicLUG at the Ultimate Toy Fair
VicLUG’s next display will be at Cherry Bomb Toys’ Ultimate Toy Fair on April 15 and 16, 2023. Come on down and see our castles display. As well, we will have the crowd favourite Great Ball Contraption (GBT) set up and rolling all weekend long. Looking forward to seeing you there!
