Brisbricks Lego Pop-up, Logan Village

Christmas was a popular theme, but so too was space, in celebration of this week’s rocket launch by Logan company Black Sky Aerospace, founded by Jimboomba dad Blake Nikolic.

Brisbricks is best known for its massive Lego expo held in Brisbane. It also stages small pop-up shows, but this show at Logan Village was a first for Logan City.

It featured a display of Classic Space Lego collected by Greenbank dad Troy Aspden since his own childhood. Set over four table tops it was a wonder to behold.

Crowd favourites included Stargate and Battlestar Gallactica sets dreamed up by Brisbricks president Pete Bilton of Yarrabilba and dozens of classic and collector Stars Wars showcases.

A crowd favourite was a mural by Ed Miller, made from more than 200 Lego figures.

“Most are Star Wars figures, but there are some surprises there if you take a really close look,” he said.

BrisBricks donated $2000 worth of Lego to five children’s charities. They included Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, The Ulysses Club Lockyer Valley for Christmas toy run, domestic violence charity Rize Up, The Cage, a youth organisation in Redlands, the K Mart Wishing Tree and Hit 105, raising funds for Variety.
