DelVaLUG, the Delaware Valley LEGO Users Group, successfully exhibited a group layout at the comics and pop-culture expo Wizard World Philadelphia pop-culture expo on 15-17 June, 2007, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Participating members were Tim Caffrey, Roy Cook, Alice Leber-Cook, and Phillip Thorne, plus new members and first-time exhibitors Arthur Stromberg and Amy.

Set up in a 10x10-foot parcel near the front of the show (amidst the major corporate exhibitors), the layout was 6 Fleske-modules in size, in a “J” shape, and featured one train loop, two trains, seven buildings, numerous vehicles, and a plethora of minifigs; including:
  • The Hall of Justice
  • Four Freedoms Plaza
  • Café Corner
  • A dark variant of Café Corner
  • Interpretations of robot-mode Bumblebee, Megatron, and Optimus Prime
  • Vehicle-mode Bumblebee and Ironhide (from the new movie)
  • The three-segment Fantasticar (from the new movie)
  • Official minifigs from Batman, Harry Potter, and Spider-Man
  • Custom minifigs from the Fantastic Four, Justice League, Spider-Man III, and X-Men
An article about the show, with one photo of the exhibit, appeared in the Monday 18 June 2007 issue of the Philadelphia Inquirer. About 80 people added themselves to the club’s email announcement list (for post-show photos and upcoming-show announcements), including several likely prospects for new members. The exhibit cross-promoted Philcon 2007, which is likely to be our next major activity.
