Brickmania is open in our NE Minneapolis Brickmania Toyworks location this second Saturday!

Special Event for Attendees this Saturday
Public Speed Build Competition

GMLTC will hold speed build competitions at 11:30 and 2 (up to 10 open house attendees for each).  Participants will all build the same set.  The two fastest builders in each group get to keep the set and all participants get a minifigure.  GMLTC/TCLUG/Brickmania members/employees ineligible.

Brickmania Historic LEGO displays.
Two Brand New Displays this Week
Brickmania will have a rotating collection of our historic displays, made from authentic LEGO elements, out for display.  Some will be complete and some may actually be created in front of your very eyes by Brickmania’s own Dan Siskind and other expert staff.

Brickmania’s Play areas featuring LEGO and DUPLO bricks.
We will also have our two play areas set up for builders of all ages.
The toddler area with DUPLO bricks and train set will engage young minds in early problem solving play.  While the Main building area will engage builders of all ages with a extensive variety of LEGO elements.

Brickmania’s own “Duce and a Half” Authentic Army Truck.
Take a selfie in front of it.
