It's that time of the month again! It's time to meet up with fellow Lego addicts!
The
December brickfast was a good one for me as I won a
Lego Kingdoms Chess Set during the meet.
January Brick-fast!!!!
I like this slogan! Building a Community One Brick at a Time! It's ripe for a partnership with Gawad Kalinga! :)
I will stand by my statement that PhLUG is one of the most pleasant hobby communities I have ever had the fortune to join in. A lot of time the hobby groups I've been in would cater to a certain clique. But everytime I join a brickfast I am plesantly surprised at the families that take part in the activity.
This January brings more excitement as I am taking my girlfriend Apple to her first brickfast! I've also managed to convince some other friends to take a gander into the wonderful world of Lego addicts.
 |
| Apple approves of this slogan! |
 |
| Happy to be brick-crazy! |
And off to meet friends! (Agh Kat, Ann, Icy why don't we have pictures??? )
 |
| Look its Captain Richard taking time off from stage productions and Watch reviews! |
 |
| Carlo Abon in the house! |
 |
| Oh yeah people selling, buying and generally going crazy at the Brick marketplace! |
 |
| Where are the bricks??? |
And buy loose Lego!
 |
| Pinoy style brick selling! Thanks Bricks Coffee for all the 30 pesos packs! :) |
 |
| Not only did Apple and I have matching Lego KISS shirts that day we also had matching Lego backpacks! |
And like I said brickfasts are usually family affairs! So its not just a case of it's dad's hobby or it's mom's hobby... It's every family member's hobby!
 |
| That backpack is similar to my GF's lego backpack! :p |
 |
| A family that plays Lego together is a fun family! |
I tried to give myself a budget of 1000 pesos for this meet. Christmas just finished and my wallet is still near death! I passed it somewhat since I picked up an Allen Iverson fig for my brother.
 |
| Allen Iverson and Steve Francis in Lego form! AWESOME! |
This time around I just got a few loose Lego parts for future builds.
 |
| I need more tree components! |
The Awesome Exhibit!
What's a brickfast without the amazing creations of PhLUG members!
In this meet up there were 3 main displays: The collaborative Castle MOC, The robots and spaceships, and the modular buildings theme.
Modular Buildings
Mecha
 |
| Damn these builders are good! |
 |
| Awesome Dragon mecha! |
 |
| Master Carlo again! :) |
My apologies for not getting the names of the builders! You guys are awesome and someday I hope to have my own MOCs right alongside your robots!
The Collaborative Castle Build
Unlike the mecha which were done individually and displayed as a group the Castle portion of the exhibit was a collaborative group build. It was a spectacle to behold in person and my photos hardly do any justice to the hard work that the people put in!
 |
| YEah my girlfriend was extremely amazed by the Castles displayed here! |
 |
| The details were tremendous! This was the back of one of the castles! |
 |
| I'm a big fan of constructed trees and the trees here are just wonderful! |
 |
| SHIPS! |
 |
| I want my own dragon! |
That exhibit was epic! And made the day doubly remarkable!
In the end.
We came out of Jollibee Green Meadows feeling awesome! My wallet was a bit lighter as I overshot my budget of 1000 pesos and ended up spending around 1500. But then it was Lego. I promise to save up for those amazingly detailed guns from Manila Brick.
 |
| Best ever: Apple is happy going to these brickfasts! |
 |
| Yeah Richard never really left that table selling loose lego parts! |
So until the next PhLUG meet! Keep on building!
