Vendors

All cool studs are welcome at World War Brick and we’re happy to see the family to expand to include more brands and more communities. To this end we are happy to announce that we will have a representative of Cobi brand building bricks on location for the first time in World War Brick history. There will also be a well-stocked Cobi store on location with special deals for WWB Weekend Pass holders and public visitors.

“COBI is the manufacturer of quality building-blocks sets in a variety of themes, from the historically accurate Small Army military replicas to pop culture, video game and automotive licensed products. While initially only well known in Poland and most of Europe, COBI has exploded in popularity in North America recently due to its ever growing and diversifying product line that now includes gorgeous sets of increasing size, exceptional accuracy and widening appeal.”

Long time World War Brick collaborator and local lighting magician, Rob and the BrickStuff family, will once again have a vendor booth filled with products and advice on how to electrify your MOCs. We also plan to have our first “World(WB) of Lights” event after the Saturday night charity auction (best lighted MOC willl be eligible for a trophy!). Thanks goodness we’ll have experts on hand to help make your creation a winner. Winners aren’t born, they’re built… and we plan to assemble the team to make that happen!

BullseyeBricksLogoJoe Popelka has been helping us at Chicago-area events for the past several years, including the last World War Brick. His area of expertise is modeling full-sized handgun replicas made from LEGO bricks. Joe has also recently released is third such custom kit under the brand name Bullseye Bricks. We are pleased to announce that Joe will be joining us again at World War Brick with an updated “Gun Rack” plus his latest kits.

Note:  These are toy guns that do not shoot projectiles of any kind.. While toys they should be handled with extreme care as to not be confused with real weapons (in other words not a good “show and tell” item).
