Cherry Bomb was great as always! We were in a slightly different location and it worked out wonderful for the public build, pictures will follow soon.
I wanted to get a post up quick so anyone who is coming to the site sees that we are actually here! For the most part club members are active in the forums. If you had talked to anyone at the show about joining VicLUG please write to lego@viclug.ca and we can go from there.
Our next public meeting is on Oct. 19th, time and place details to follow, and our next event is Ifcon on Oct. 31-Nov-1st at Pearkes.

The Train Show 2015
Hi All of you,
This is our next big show, at the Juan de Fuca Rec Centre, on the 24th of May. The show runs 10 am – 4 pm, Adults $7, Youth (11-16) $3, Family $14, Children under 8 free with an adult. There will be a fairly complicated track plan for this year, involving 6 bridges and 2 grade crossings. (and hopefully, no minifig carnage !)
beautiful hand crafted LEGO-inspired electronics
This is too cool to not share…
Artist Love Hultén has created these amazing 6:1 recreations of classic LEGO elements, complete with working electronics inside.
So beautiful
So nostalgic!
