Tickets for next weekend (26th and 27th Oct) on sale!
The CLUG Juniors are building a massive cityscape inspired by LEGO City for this years show. In true LEGO Masters style, storytelling is key. There will be different zones like an airport, construction site, and maybe even a coastal area!
This year we will have a collaborative build table displaying Minifigures on Parade (MOPs). MOPs are modules of minifigure dioramas that are connected to create a continuous pathway. MOPs were developed in 2022 by Richard Jones.
A great ball contraption (GBC) is a machine which receives soccer balls or basketballs from one module and passes them to another module, rather like a bucket brigade. Modules built according to the GBC standard can be assembled into a collaborative display without pre-planning or modification. The GBC standard is minimal, permitting the builder great flexibility in designing the mechanism by which balls are moved from the input to the output. The otherwise pointless handling of balls, and the myriad ways this is accomplished, gives great ball contraptions the impression of a Rube Goldberg machine. In GBC, you assembly Lego® standard or Lego Technic® bricks in a way to transport some tiny (soccer or basketball) balls from one location to another. These bricks assemblies are called “modules” and the beauty of the discipline is to chain these modules to carry the balls over the longest distance as possible, in the most attractive and fancy way as possible.
Our friends from the Southern Cross Garrison of the 501st Legion, Rebel Legion Tython Base, and the Sandhawk Clan of the Mandalorian Mercs will be back this year!
