Born on Jan 20, 2014, PerthLUG started as an idea between Dale Horsley and Richie Moir as a place for the Adult Fans of Lego (known worldwide as AFOLs) of Perth to have somewhere to share their love of the hobby. From small beginnings the group has continued to grow and now boasts a membership of over 6100 strong. PerthLUG aims to provide AFOLs a safe and inclusive space to grow creatively in a community of like-minded adults.
Where can you find us and what kinds of things do we do?
BUILDAPALOOZA
Our monthly build nights are held the second Monday evening of each month. Read more on our Buildapalooza page!
MINIFIGAPALOOZA
We have bi-annual buy and sell days where our members can set up tables to sell new or used sets or minifigures. It’s often also a meeting place to swap/exchange minifigures or parts that people are looking for to complete a MOC, or just to catch up and chat!
COMPETITIONS
We have building competitions in our Facebook group from time to time with fun LEGO prizes.
THEME DAYS
Within our Facebook group we have theme days for a bit of fun, such as ‘Minifig Monday’ and ‘Way back Wednesday’. It’s great to see what people’s minifigs are up to and enjoy some nostalgia for some older sets!
BRICKMAS APPEAL
Each year we put a call out in our Facebook group for donations of new small to medium sets to gift to children in hospital for Christmas. Our members know how much impact even a small set can have when things are tough, and they give incredibly generously. Over the years we have partnered with Princess Margaret Hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth Children’s Hospital, CanTeen and Starlight.
EXHIBITIONS
Our members build amazing MOCs for a range of local exhibitions to support community events and charities.
- Bricktober is our largest local event in October each year, hosted by the Rotary Club as their main fundraiser. Alongside our individual members exhibiting their amazing MOCs, we also have a PerthLUG collaborative build (such a as habitat stacks, apartment buildings, zoo, mosaics etc…)
- B Shed Builds is held in Fremantle in the April Easter school holidays. We have members contributing both individual MOCs as well as collaborative group builds at this event too.
- Freo Builds is a weeklong event in the July winter school holidays with a trail to find different LEGO builds around Fremantle, where the builds are children’s drawings that have been brought to life in LEGO, with some of our members contributing MOCs.
- ArtyBricks is a fusion of art and LEGO in an Art Gallery setting in January/February. There is a new theme each year (2025 – Home built, incorporating objects from around the home, 2026 – Natural Elements, incorporating things like feathers, rocks, leaves, water, 2027 will be Paper, Print & Polymer). Proudly sponsored by PerthLUG.
