I probably did, but can’t recall exactly which one. I’ll share my resources with you via email.
I can give you a ton of activities, but what is really recommended is something that ties into what you love to build and are bringing. For example, if you’re talking about architecture, have them build some place meaningful to them. The challenge can be scaled to limit the number of bricks, color, etc. I’m happy to also send my “library” of activities too. 😊
@randomdan Glad to hear that you’re recovering well. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope to see you again soon.
That’s really cool!
Hi Anna! I love the botanicals too. My house is decorated in them. I look forward to meeting you at a future event. There’s a quarterly meeting coming up in August if you’re able to make it.
Welcome Rachel! I loved the classic sets from the 80s. Castle being one of my all-time favorites.
I look forward to meeting you at a future event. The Q3 meeting is coming up in August if you’re available.

So that was you wiping out with a tray of bricks in the trailer…?!?
I wish I could fall that spectacularly. It was really from illegal speed building. Oh no, I’ve said too much. 😂
@randomdan I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you find a match quickly.
Welcome MJ! Looking forward to meeting you. 😊
This is a great idea!
@tbrown00 Great minds think alike. I think @watchwmarcella is looking into dates for Penn Hills for Q2.
@kensc Kyle’s the Admin, you’ll want to connect with him on how to do that in a way that’s sustainable.
@timf I like that idea of bringing whatever you’re building to meetings!
@kensc Anyone has the ability to start a challenge here or on Discord. There is a set Build and Chill channel, but all you need to do is put it out there. 😊
Here is a non-exhaustive list for some of the theme months out there too: https://bricknerd.com/home/every-lego-collab-standard-themed-month-and-recurring-contest-11-26-24
I usually throw out themes that we can reuse the builds for upcoming shows. The general public loves a good Pittsburgh-themed build. With Ultimate Brick being in November, we could always do Pittsburgh Landmarks, but that may be too close to the habitats.
Since the meeting will be around summer, we could also revisit the underwater build challenge using the standard that I think ColonialLUG did. (Yes, I’m channeling Cam) Everyone had to use a 10×10 Octagonal plate (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=89523&name=Plate,%20Modified%2010%20x%2010%20Octagonal%20with%20Hole&category=%5BPlate,%20Modified%5D#T=C) as the base so they could be connected together into a big piece at the end. I know I have pictures somewhere. I’ll keep looking.
Thanks Josh! Much appreciated 🙂
Nick, it was great meeting you. Your builds are truly amazing and full of so much great detail. I look forward to seeing you again soon. 🙂
They all were absolutely amazing! So much creativity and detail packed into such tiny builds. I agree that this is something we should continue to expand on. I’m sure they’ll be a fan favorite.
@tfdesigns @smallfrost Hurricane Ivan came through Pittsburgh the day before mine and Will’s wedding. It made for a very fun rehearsal that day.
Hi Toni! It was great meeting you yesterday. Welcome to the group. I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event. 😊
Welcome Josie! I look forward to meeting you this weekend. 😊
Congrats! Such a cutie. 🙂
Welcome to the group Michael. I lived in Centre County for a brief time in college.
Yes, the PAB wall is now using boxes. We’ve tested it out and it fills the same, if not a tiny bit more in the boxes.
Do you come down to the Pittsburgh area often? If so, we have some really great events coming up that you may want to display or just hang out with us at.
We actually have one! 🤣
I’m going to say 1500, but I feel like that’s either really conservative or really high.
Welcome Rhett! We have a number of space fans here, so you’re in good company. 🙂
Thanks @bengood921 for sharing that. They got some nice closing ups! Can’t miss out names on that 😂 (that was a Zander design)
