Are there any LUG groups in Tampa, Florida?
BrickFleet posted a topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
I've looked into a couple of groups but I've found only GFLUG which is a group based in Tampa and focuses a lot on trains rather than Lego as a whole. I am thinking the greater area of Florida MUST have some sort of LUG group? I checked out their facebook page and it seems like I wouldn't fit in cause its sort of a casual discussion rather than detailed or in-depth banter. -
This is our Legoland scene with the Park, Hotel and other buildings. The Legoland Hotel was submitted to Lego Ideas 3/29/2021. You could see other pictures at that site. Any support is appreciated!!! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/fae63fd7-82af-4b20-9a4f-855889befd86

GFLUG put on an awesome LEGO Train display at the NMRA show in Orlando, FL from 4-6 August 2017. Here's video of the display. At least six operating loops in this layout, one of which was the mainline loop that connects all the sections! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Yo439Waws

Modern Modular Building MOC: Two Story Corner (Pasión del Cielo Coffe
brickbuilder711 posted a topic in LEGO Town
Hello friends! Finally got back in the grind! My latest is a building built for the modular scale, quite simple actually but the focus is on the inside details. Video below: The ground floor features a Pasión del Cielo coffee branch, it's similar to recognizable names like Starbucks except aside from local pastries, your choice of coffee from 11 beans (which I felt the wall that they were displayed on was the coolest feature to build). They have locations in Miami and Mexico so I admit they probably aren't well known in the EB community but nonetheless something I want to share! The top floor features a store selling exercise/sporting material (and supposedly bikes as an ode to one of the coffee company's partners) and has a yoga studio. Wanted to capture different elements of the local lifestyle using LEGO Brick. Enjoy! Full size images available here https://www.flickr.c...157663424251735 -
Hi friends, Just wanted to share some video from one of the larger local train shows in Florida where Greater Florida LEGO Users Group put together a massive display with a replica of Downtown Tampa, FL as well as many suburban and rural scenes. Hope you guys enjoy!

While the design is over a year old, and the original train cars as many as three, I finally decided to do a video timelapse showing some of the building process for a reefer seen on Tropicana Juice Trains, which gives it the feel of a Train Set. CSX is the primary carrier of these with UP and the Florida East Coast contracted to handle juice as well.

Here is video of the Greater Florida LEGO Users Group display at the Tampa, FL Train Show. The style is much unlike my older videos as it revolves around a round-the-track cabride. ENJOY! I highly recommend some Dance music with it, namely "In My Mind" my Ivan Gough, to be synchronized with it both starting at the 0:00 mark, because it flows well.

GFLUG at Plant City Train Show near Tampa, FL, USA
brickbuilder711 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
On February 9, the Greater Florida LEGO Users Group put on a magnificent display with city and town dioramas and trains running around their newer Dueling Yards concept. A couple of my MOCs were a part of the show, one being a train depot built after the one in the Plant City, FL, where the show was at. Here is a little feed from it: -
GFLUG at Festival of the Masters 2012 in Disney World
brickbuilder711 posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
On Veteran's Day Weekend, the Greater Florida LEGO Users Group did a display at the Festival of the Masters art show. Themed 80s, various LUG members brought models themed to the 1980s. Here is a small feed of that plus a little more of the whole event. -
On December 5, 2011, my parents and I spent a day at LEGOLAND Florida. I had a great time there, and I thought it would be nice to share my adventure with everyone here. I have so many pictures that I decided to just put them in this gallery rather than posting them all in this topic (which would be very time-consuming and bandwidth-hogging). However, I will link to some individual pictures/sub-galleries for convenience. When I first got in the park, I saw someone dressed up in a highly realistic minifigure costume. I had a photo taken of me doing a Stephen Colbert-style "friend pose" with the colorful character. After that, I went to The Big Shop, and got some unique items there. I also stopped by the Factory Tour, saw a funny video of CGI minifigures messing around in a real LEGO factory, and picked up some common, yet essential bricks at the Pick A Brick store. My last shopping destination was the Minifigure Market, where I built 3 minifigures using mostly Collectible Minifigure parts. See all the merchandise I got in this sub-gallery. Next, I visited Miniland USA. My dad leveraged the photo-taking and video-capturing powers of his iPhone, and here are the results... Miniland Photos YouTube Videos (on my YT channel) After Miniland, we had lunch at Fun Town Pizza Pasta Buffet. Sorry, no pictures, but the food was excellent. We finished eating just in time to catch the Racers 4D movie at the Wells Fargo Fun Town 4D Theater. It was awesome. There was wind and snow (yes, it snowed in central Florida!!! It was indoors though, and I saw no traces after the show was over... ), and the vehicles looked fantastic (a fusion of realistic vehicle parts and LEGO elements, similar in appearance to the vehicles in the Drome Racers video game). Again, there are no photos. I forgot the exact order of the following activities, but here they are anyway. I joined my dad on the Lost Kingdom Adventure ride. The Egyptian theme and the laser guns reminded me of Stargate SG-1. Plenty of classic Adventurers characters appeared on the ride, including Sam Sinister (who was involved in a failed plot with dynamite ), Dr. Kilroy, and Ms. Pippin Reed. Sorry, no photos available. My mom and I went on the Technicycle in the LEGO® TECHNIC™ section of the park. Although I have no photos of this cool-looking ride, I can tell you that the base of it looks like a Power Functions battery box and XL Motor. Each dual-seat passenger holder was made to look like a powered glider built from giant LEGO elements, such as TECHNIC beams, classic dragon wings, 6x6 webbed dishes, and 5.5 diameter 3-bladed propellers. At the Imagination Zone, I wanted to participate in the Racers Build and Test and Hero Factory activities, but an employee told me that Hero Factory wasn't ready yet, so I just built a racer and pitted it against other creations in a downhill drag race. (I made an LXF file of my racer the next day at home.) The Big Test, a live-action show in the LEGO® City section of the park, was very funny to watch. It was about five city-dwellers trying to pass a test to become volunteer firefighters. The actors even interacted with the audience several times, and those unfortunate enough to sit in the first few rows got wet from all the water that was splashed and sprayed around in the spirit of laugh-out-loud comedy. Once again, no photos were taken. Back when LEGOLAND Florida used to be Cypress Gardens (part of it still is--more on that later), they had a water ski show. Since then, pirates took over the show, and it was renamed Pirate’s Cove Live Water Ski Show. It told the story of a brave female named Miranda Valentina (a human dressed in an outfit similar to this minifigure) who, allied with her soldiers (people in 2009 redcoat minifigure costumes sans hats), took back the Brickbeard's Bounty (which appeared to be made of life-size LEGO elements) from pirates (including Brickbeard himself, the only pirate who was in a minifigure costume). There was also a shark named Sawtooth (which looked just like the one in the Brickbeard's Bounty set). Click here for pictures. The last thing we saw at LEGOLAND Florida was Cypress Gardens. Thankfully, the beautiful (yet non-LEGO) botanical gardens were left intact. There is a massive banyan tree there that would look awesome in modular sets if LEGO brought back Forestmen or made an Elves theme. You can see that tree and other cool flora here. Finally, on the way out, I discovered that my minifigure friend was replaced by Preston Stormer 1.0. I saluted him. If you can afford to go to LEGOLAND Florida, I highly recommend it. I really hope to go there again at least once. -Toa Of Justice EDIT: Many of the links in this post rotted (here's why), so I fixed them.
