Sasktoday.com — It’s the literal perfect example of ‘buiild it and they will come’.
Thousands of visitors descended on the Western Development Museum this past weekend for the annual display of all things LEGO known as Brickspo, taking in hundreds of displays that showed off incredible artistic skill and talent.
The event — staged by the Saskatchewan LEGO Users Group — has become a mainstay on the calendar for the WDM, and for good reason: Brickspo features a little bit of something for everyone when it comes to their myriad range of builds.
From townscapes and model railway displays to massive dioramas featuring movies like Star Wars, Aladdin and Lord of the Rings, the effort and planning that went into each of the projects was obvious even at a glance.
That was equally as true when it came to some of the smaller displays, which included near photo-realistic reproductions of folks like Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers in addition to countless smaller builds of vehicles, artwork and just about anything imagination could come up with.
Visitors could also check out a huge on-site sale of LEGO bricks and projects, with the pop-up store busy throughout Saturday and Sunday.
