Lego World the Netherlands 2025

[sander1992]

Hi everyone,

The past week was Lego World in the Netherlands.
The event is held at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht.

I met someone from the Eurobricks forum, but forgot to ask his name.
It was a fun week at the event. The builds were great.

I took some pictures of the builds at the Fanzone of the event.

For more pictures, please look into my Flickr album.

Lots of neat models on display there!

I really like the modernized 6989 Multi-Core Magnetizer!

Did you display any models there?  I've seen many of your past builds shown here on Eurobricks that would be fitting for such an event, in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing. Many splendid builds!

Yes, I had my Aquazone lay-out. I haven't shared my latest updates yet.

Oh, yes, I really want to see that!  Aquazone is a near-and-dear nostalgic theme for me (I was born in 1991 and had the large Aquazone poster on my bedroom door for several formative years of my childhood).  I have several of your past updates bookmarked, though I am not sure if I ever commented on them.
Building a large Aquazone layout with huge blue hexagonal columns and arches has been in my dreams (and loose beginning plans now) for quite some time as I pass on my nostalgia to my nephews with the excellent 90's LEGO-original themes.

@Slegengr Thanks! (And update posted).

It's kinda funny to bring a theme like Aquazone to an event like this.
Most people respond to it like: 'O, look it is a under water world!' 
Some responds were: 'I had this when I was a kid!' 'Look son, this is the Lego your father had!' 

There was one older lady that asked me if this was Alpha Team.
I did not expect that question and had to explain the timeline a bit.

Interesting responses, especially that Alpha Team question!  That does not seem like a theme that would be known by name but not also known by sets/design.  There was the Alpha Team: Mission Deep Sea subtheme, though, so I suppose an Aquazone MOC could be assumed to fit if the questioner had familiarity with Alpha Team but not with Aquazone.

I'll check out your updates!
