Check out this epic throwback for World War Brick 2016 in Anaheim, CA!

World War Brick is a gathering of hobbyists and fans dedicated to modeling historical and military-related scenes, vehicles, and weaponry using LEGO® brand bricks. At WWB we provide ample space for activities, displays, collaborations and of course products for sale from the top custom vendors who seek to expand and enrich the building experience.

After a six year hiatus, World War Brick 2022 will once again take place at Brickmania Toyworks (our world headquarters) in Minneapolis, MN on June 10-12. While our Weekend Passes have since sold out, Day Passes are still available for that weekend. At WWB we provide ample space for activities, displays, collaborations and of course products for sale from the top custom vendors who seek to expand and enrich the building experience. Day Pass holders get access to the showroom floor, as well as select events, and exclusive items available at the WWB store

World War Brick 2014 is unanimously being considered an unqualified success, thanks in large to the effort of our wonderful Weekend Pass holders, volunteers, guests and staff.  What did we do at WWB 2014?  Here’s some highlights:

  • We collectively built a giant mosaic measuring 14 feet across by 9 feet tall
  • We played games such as the Micro Tank Battle and Brikwars
  • Built two massive group dioramas
  • Put 100’s of our own creations on display
  • Had awesome workshops on customizing minifigs, lighting models, decal application and more.
  • Learned how BrickArms “Reloaded” weapons and made and witnessed the release of new BrickArms weapons and a new Brickmania kit.
  • Went for rides in Brickmania’s 2 1/2 ton truck
  • Made new friends and caught up with old ones
