Current News

November 23, 2010 – 1:36 am

Just a reminder: our display at Airlie Gardens opens this Friday.

Since it’s that time of year again, new sets are starting to show up in stores. The LEGO store at Crabtree currently has a variety of 2011 sets, keychains, and magnet sets in stock, spanning the City (Police), Atlantis, Creator, and Pharaoh’s Quest series. A few of these sets have also been spotted at the Cary Toys R Us.

This Friday is also Black Friday. FBTB.net (a LEGO / Star Wars fan site) has a full rundown on LEGO deals for those of you willing to brave the crowds.

BrickFlix and Facebook

October 28, 2010 – 12:22 pm

Some housekeeping here: BrickFlix2011 will once again be just before BrickMagic. This time around, that works out to Star Wars day (May the Fourth be with you!) but the event will not have a Star Wars theme. Much like BrickMagic, this event is hosted in NC but features work from LEGO fans the world over. You can keep up with BrickFlix news at http://brickflix.org/

For all the Facebookers out there – you can now use Facebook groups to keep up with BrickFlix and LEGOPalooza.
