Welcome back to the Build Night Breakdown! Inside, we’re celebrating PerthLUG’s May Buildapalooza with prize draws, build highlights, and the latest news and events—keeping you plugged into the LEGO scene across Perth.
Now, for those that are new here: what is this Buildapalooza build night thing?
Buildapalooza is PerthLUG’s regular social event, where on the second Monday of every month, we bring along a LEGO set and just build and socialise. We’re a friendly bunch from all walks of life. It’s just $5 for non-members to help keep the lights on. The details of where & when can be found at the bottom of this page.
Let’s dive right into all the fun giveaways with the members’ draw. This month, we had a total of FOUR PRIZES up for grabs as part of our Monthly Members Prizes. This month was all about STAR WARS…May the Fourth be with you!!!! A great mix of sets from the whole story franchise. I bet our very lucky winning members will certainly feel like they have won an out of this world experience while building these.
Drum roll please…
Members’ Draw: May
30727 TIE Advanced Mini-Build: Natasha E
40856 The Mandalorian and Grogu: Allies & Villains: Natalie H
75437 Cobb Vanth’s Speeder: Elizabeth E
75438 Yoda Bust: Peter W
Congratulations members! You may notice that a number of our winning members did not get their picture taken. They didn’t dodge the camera this time. No, rather they are simply enjoying the benefits of their membership. If you’re a paid-up member, you can still win a prize, even if you can’t attend the build night. Yet again, memberships paid off big time last Monday night.
MONTHLY RAFFLE
We are not quite done with prizes yet, though. Amy L took home the brand new Wicket the Ewok (75330) in our monthly raffle. Amy’s smile says it all, what an amazing prize. Congratsulations.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend this month, so I could not get around to seeing some our fine members builds for the night.

Before we wrap up this issue, a huge thank you to all those who attend our monthly Build Nights. It is so great to see everyone helping out setting up the tables and chairs, and then packing up at the end.
And that’s us all done and dusted for another month. But because slowing down clearly isn’t our style, the Buildapalooza will be back again next month. Join us at the next one on the 8th of June 2026. You’ll find us at our regular meeting spot at the John McGrath Pavilion, just off Hensman Street in South Perth. All are welcome.
