Today’s guest article comes from “Fletcher Floyd” who was affected by the recent disastrous flooding in Germany. He shares his experience of recovering what he could of his LEGO collection after the flood, what to expect when cleaning mud off of LEGO, and what storage solutions either helped or hindered when it came to water damage. This story originally appeared in German on the Rogue Bricks forum and has been translated and republished here with permission. Fletcher’s Flood For a while “Apoca” was a popular theme in MOCs – but what does it look like when your very own LEGO collection gets hit by the apocalypse? I experienced this exact scenario and as a result have written this little report. For context, my family and I were affected by the flood in Germany’s Ahr Valley but were very lucky compared to others. The fire brigade evacuated us early and our apartment...

You can find his work on Flickr, Rebrickable, YouTube, and on Eurobricks. Meet Mecha Team Leader I have a confession to make. I have never played Fortnite, not even the LEGO version.

To mark this milestone, let’s take a look at the history of the event, the LUG behind the event, and the AFOL Networking Events program.

He took the opportunity and helped create the “LEGO Fan Weekend.” Jan’s intention was to take the AFOL hobby to the next level. He wanted to encourage AFOLs to look beyond borders, visit LEGO events abroad, and build an international network of LEGO friends. Considering the number of AFOLs now travelling to all corners of the world to attend events, I think he succeeded. Arte em Peças Nineteen years ago...
