This is an update that the VLC will no longer be participating in this event.

Fellow Canadians,
After seeing a large scaled Mountie in “Brickbaron’s” Brickshelf folder for the
Vancouver Road Show, I was compelled to build my own, but to the same scale as
set 3723 (LEGO Mini-Figure Sculpture). Regrettably, his staff with a red and
white flag, nor is his trusty revolver are complete for the holiday. I will
post new pictures once they are finished.
So to celebrate Canada Day I have posted both my maxifig Mountie and my minifig
R.C.M.P. Musical Ride. If you are feeling patriotic or you are just waiting for
your beer to chill, please drop by for
a look.
Happy Canada Day!
Janey “Red Brick”
(Wondering if I should build a maxifig horse for Max to ride, eh?)

Want to relive the good old days of Classic Space? Join me at
BrickFest PDX 2004 for my Retrospective on
Classic Space seminar. I’ll be sharing some of the highlights from my
personal complete Space collection. See the old 70’s
Rocket Set, the original
Moon Lander, both versions of the
Space Command Center, and a wide
variety of hard to find classic sets, nearly all in original boxes
(except 1593 and 6807). Or look though my complete collection of space
set directions that will be on hand.
I need your help to make this great - if you have a request for any
particular space set you would like to see, email me ahead of time at
mattchiles@gorge.net and I will bring it along. See you at
BrickFest PDX 2004!

Thanks, I'm pretty sure we'll have some video up on it soon. We took a lot
pictures as well as video, and we just need to get them up.

Wow, those pictures are awesome! Looks like an incredible display. I
wish I could have seen it in all it's glory. I see several automated
items in the pictures that I'm sure would have been cool to see in
motion.
That must have taken a huge amount of work. Congratulations all.
Play well.

Thank you, it was a lot of work but it was quite fun. Sunday was a little too
busy and insane but I really enjoyed Friday and Saterday.

I belive LEGO's plan was to support the local stores that sell LEGO instead of
trying to take business away from them. That's why they didn't have anything to
sell. Though I wish they would have sold shirts and jackets...

Sadly I waited to long to get mine and they had run out of the hats, tags and
activity books. sigh...

An excelent showing of what can be made with Lego. In observing the crowd on
Saturday, they were suitably impressed. The "What will you build?" road show
was a hit and resulted in some superior displays.
The only thing that was wrong was that noone was selling Lego sets. An excelent
marketing oportunity that was missed.
I too achieved my liscence to build like the masters.

The Vancouver LEGO® Club was put to the test against Master Builders as they
constructed a layout for the "What will you make?" LEGO® North America RoadShow
tour.
Approximately 9 members of The VLC built the impeccably detailed layout in 3
weeks, putting it all together at the RoadShow tour held at Science World the
weekend of September 20th. The members worked in their spare time, building the
best possible layout in the limited space provided. This was their smallest
layout yet, and their 5th unique layout. But don't let the size fool you; it's
packed with non stop action and automation from firing canons on pirate ships to
Quidditch teams zooming around the pitch.
The show was located in: Vancouver,BC at Science WORLD!
The Dates & Times were:
September 19,20,21
Friday 12PM-5PM
Saturday 11AM-5PM
Sunday 12AM-5PM
Families from across Vancouver put their creativity and building skills to the
test at the "What Will You Make, Americas?" Bonanza . Kids and adults alike
spent the three days getting hands-on experience with new LEGO Designer Sets and
LEGO Inventor Sets as they participated in a variety of different activities
ranging from family building challenges to city-specific storytelling through
building. Young builders had a chance to meet a LEGO MasterBuilder, who
evaluated models either made at home or at the event, as well as provided tips
and tricks for LEGO building. Preschoolers could make and create whatever they
could imagine with the LEGO EXPLORE bricks. Children who participated in every
activity were named "Official LEGO Builders" and received their license to build
like the Masters! This family event was free of charge.

I'm just glad someone finally found a good use for those parts. I've regarded
them as useless up until now.

Very nice. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering why they hadn't thought of
it. I'm going to build a couple myself. Nice build!!

Nice! You just boosted sales of sets with the 3-wheeler in it. Do you mind if I
LDraw it and post the instructions to Brickshelf (with proper credit, of

FINALLY a good use for those trikes!
Trikes are legal in Sweden and can be driven with a normal car drivers license,
so a "lot" of bikers drive them so they don't have to get the MC drivers
license.

Hi!
This is a periodic "call for information" regarding the dates of formation
of all LUGs, LTCs, MUGs, etc., around the world. I've been maintaining a
comprehensive list for the past couple of years...
http://news.lugnet.com/org/dates
which I'm thinking of putting into a database format, and I'd to get all
of the ?'s resolved into solid dates. If you are a founding member of any
of the following groups/clubs listed below, please take a few moments to
check your records against the date shown. Also, if your group/club is not
listed on the page shown above, please let me know!
Thanks!!!

Hi Dean,
I'm sorry I didn't catch this posting earlier. Here is the scan you wanted.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Merthyn/Sails/6261sail.jpg
I did it like the last scan. The heavy lines are 1/2 inch apart and the
small lines are 1/10 of an inch apart. I hope you can use this. If you
need any more scans later, it might be wise to send me an email and let me
know. I can't seem to keep up with all the postings like I would like to.
enjoy,
Tom

Hello all. Due to interest in a Pirates version of the VLC Brickwars game (a
simply Brikwars like game soon to be released) I have been pulling all the
pirate stuff out of a used collection I bought ages ago.
Unfortunately it's missing many pieces and half the sails...
I'm looking for the following sail.
6261 Raft Raiders
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6261
Tom Reed was kind enough to put up a GREAT version of the 6277 sails. I'm
now asking if anyone can do the same with the 6261 set.
Thanks!
Dean
