I’ve removed some posts related to the program because it’s a secret for those who do not come to the event

I also noticed that the Wild Western Cabins - where we stayed the past years with 5 adults per chalet - are now only appearing in the list when entering 3 adults + 2 children. This makes absolutely no sense because there was never a problem with those bunk beds. I've slept in them several times without any issues at all. So yeah, let not make too much noise to the Village about this and simply follow the advice with I got on the phone and book some adults as if they were children (and many of them really still have the mind of a child ).

Oh, the lady on the phone told me something different. So I've booked the 5 person room and we'll simply ask for the key without making it explicit that we are with 5 adults. I hope this will work out. In any case I can bring some air mattresses in case they make a big fuss out of adults using the bunk beds.

As 2018 is coming closer we have posted everything you need to know about our next Eurobricks Event in Billund. Go here to find out all about the event.

I'll set the example :) I'm joining the entire event and I'm also a candidate for being room/chalet responsible. This time I will come with 4 extra people (2 of those also attended the previous event in Billund) and their names are: Martijn, Danny, Jan, Kevin I already booked a room for 5 persons at the Pirates' Inn Motel.

Eurobricks Event 2018 Billund Denmark The one stop place for all your event info! 1/ Where, when, what: Get ready for our the 14th Eurobricks event, at the heart of the LEGO universe: Billund, Denmark. The event will be Sunday 27th, Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th of May. We arrive on Saturday 26th (late afternoon in my case) and return on Wednesday 30th of May (after breakfast). The program will be very interesting as always! 2/ Accommodation We stay in the LEGOLAND Holiday Village at 5 min walk from LEGO. Here you can rent a Ninjago Cabin, a Wild West Cabin or a room in the Pirates' Inn Motel. The Motel and the Chalets are all at the same location and we'll have breakfast in the same place. The Pirates Inn' Motel has rooms for 4, 5 and 8 persons, the Wild West Chalets are for 5 persons and a Ninja Chalet has 6 beds. Don't forget to include breakfast and bedlinnen. Make sure you do not book by accident at the Legoland HOTEL, because this one is at a different location in Billund. Booking and payment: We'll do this again in a decentralized way. Per chalet/room one person needs to be the 'chalet responsible'. This person will collect the money from the other people in the chalet and will be responsible for the booking and payment of the chalet to the LEGOLAND® Holiday Village. Payment is to be done 100% at the time of booking (the chalet responsible pays directly to the LEGOLAND® Holiday Village, not to us!). Chalet responsible: We'll work out who'll be the chalet responsibles in the sign-up topic. Please indicated in the sign-up topic if you'd be OK to be a chalet responsible or rather not. We prefer people who already came to past events to take the role of chalet responsible over people who we've never met before. Also in the sign-up topic you can work out with whom you'd like to share a chalet. If you become chalet responsible you should get in touch with the other people in your chalet (by Personal Messenger) and give instructions on how they can send you the money. Once you have collected all the money you can simply book a room/chalet via the website of Legoland Billund. If you come with your wife or entire family and would like a complete chalet you will of course be your own chalet responsible. IMPORTANT: the booking website behaves a bit weird because it only showed me the 5 persons pirate rooms in the Pirates' Inn Motel when I select 3 adults and 2 children. When entering 5 adults the 5 persons room was not listened even though it has 5 normal beds. This seems to be a bug in the website and after calling the Legoland BIllund Village they advised my to simply select 3 adults and 2 children and make the booking like this. Same applies for the chalets, so please keep this in mind when looking for a room or chalet. Address and Contact: LEGOLAND® Holiday Village Ellehammers Allé 2 DK-7190 Billund 3/ Sign-up for the event: You can sign up for the event HERE. 4/ Miscellaneous: To give you a price indication: I just booked a room in the Pirates' In Motel for 5 persons (myself and some friends who'll be joining me). The price per person for our stay is 202 EUR including breakfast and bedlinnen. So a very reasonable price (especially for expensive Denmark). We'll try to make a deal with the Legoland Village to have access to a meeting room. This deal might include that we need to have 1x dinner in the Village with our entire group. By signing up you are agreeing to this.

Life has been a bit busy, but I hope to find time in the coming days to prepare an official information topic (with details for booking accommodations) and a sign-up thread.

Our long time member Captain Green Hair will be hosting a build masterclass on the 23rd of november in the cultural center in Almere, the Netherlands. If you are lucky enough to live nearby this is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the best AFOL builders. For more info, go here.

No problem. It's very unlikely there'll be an issue with housing for these dates, but you never know. I'll do some calling soon to both the Legoland Village and to the Lalandia Village.

There's still a small risk because we didn't make arrangements yet for housing. So I would prefer to wait a bit longer with booking flights and stuff till we have that worked out.

Hi all, The Eurobricks Event 2018 will be in Billund and the dates are Sunday 27th till Tuesday 29th of May 2018. So travel days are Saturday and Wednesday. We already discussed with LEGO about the program and for sure the new LEGO House will be part of it! More info will follow later, but be sure to already mark these dates in your agenda. This is not a sign-up topic yet, but feel free to already discuss the event and let us know if you consider coming over. EDIT: There's still a small risk because we didn't make arrangements yet for housing for these dates, so please wait with booking flights and stuff till we have that worked out.

I love Pirates, Castle, Vikings, Wild West, Adventurers, ... but none of these themes are still available. I often look at the LEGO shelves in stores with $$$ in my pocket but those will stay there till there's again a theme I like. Having stuff like Ninjago and Superheroes is fine for me, as long as there's enough diversification including some really cool historic themes. With an ancient Roman or Greek theme LEGO will be back on the growth track in no time!

Yesterday we have enabled HTTPS for Eurobricks, so from now on all your communication with our site happens fully encrypted. This was on our to-do list for some time and I'm glad it's now implemented.

If you like LEGO ships you should take a closer look at the 5T Light Terraman "La Contessa de Victoria" by our member Captain Wolf.

I this new ship of yours Captain Wolf. Very nice and original color scheme, great shape and a mighty stern!

Due to a personal issue I cannot confirm my attendance at this moment. Maybe things change when the event gets closer and I can still join (to be seen...). So for now let's do the room booking without reserving a spot for me (I'm sure I'll find a pot if I would still manage to come).

Yes, it's a new option on the latest software version which allows to select one tag to be shown in such a long annoying red banner. I've already manually disabled this for most of the topics that were shown on the first page of each forum. Each topic needs to be edited to change this, so it's a bit annoying.

Simply amazing to see the result of so many years of building. It looks just perfect!

I noticed this also after the upgrade and I'm no fan of this. We'll look into this. But more important, it seems we found and fixed THE problem the admin team has been investigating for a long time now I'll let Jim to communicate more details about this.

We are now specifically looking into this issue. And also Invision support is being contacted. I hope a fix can be found for this soon.

Today we did several updates on the live forum which should improve performance. Please let us know if you feel any difference (good or bad :)). Thanks!
