Art provided by theLEGO Group, used with permission.It’s been busy.During this issue, I went to Brickworldand the San Diego Comic-Con on thebehalf of the magazine. On the behalfof the LEGO Users Group I am in, Ialso helped out with not one, but twostore openings! As a result, the groupand I built sets and display models forthe stores, which meant that the clubbuilt about 40 models over a month!And somewhere in there, the group did an event in a local bookstore, hosting abuilding contest and display.It’s been really busy and in spite of this, another issue of BrickJournal rolled out.This time the focus is on LEGO Architecture, with an article about Adam ReedTucker’s growing collection of landmark sets. With the architectural slant of thisissue, we got a look at builder Spencer Rezkalla and also a model from ChristopherDeck that is both Star Wars and architecture! There’s also some moreexclusive LEGO articles in this issue, as well as a look at how to get into FIRSTLEGO League. And of course, much more!So sit back and have a look....Joe MenoEditor, BrickJournalP.S. Have ideas or comments?
