Join us June 10-12th, 2016 for our 4th Annual World War Brick Minneapolis event, taking place at the Brickmania Toyworks and co-sponsored by Brickmania, BrickArms, and GI Brick. There will be displays created by LEGO® enthusiasts from across the country, fun and games, friendly competitions and more. Our gathering is meant to share our enthusiasm for historic modeling, building with LEGO® bricks, and to raise awareness and money for our nation’s military Veterans.

World War Brick 2016 will take place at Brickmania’s world headquarters in Minneapolis, MN. Also known as the Brickmania Toyworks, we are located in a huge factory complex that built military armaments during and after World War II.  Roughly 15,000 square feet of air conditioned space will be available for all WWB activities, with approximately 10,000 SF worth of displays viewable by the general public.

Museum Quality Displays

World War Brick was founded by Daniel Siskind, an award-winning creator of historical models and displays built from LEGO® Bricks. Founded in 1999 under the name Brickmania, Daniel and his team produce the finest quality historical displays featured in museums, memorials, reunions, and schools, and whose custom kits are enjoyed in homes around the world.

There will be many other creations and models on display created by World War Brick attendees, mainly in historical themes, but also a smattering of science fiction and other subjects.

We’re Building to the Next Level

The official LEGO® product line does not include military themes. To help fill this void, BrickArms founder Will Chapman began manufacturing his own injection-molded plastic toy weapons designed specifically for use with the LEGO system. Since it’s humble beginnings in a garage, in a suburban Seattle neighborhood in 2006, BrickArms has gained a huge international following and a reputation as one of the finest quality American toy manufacturers. BrickArms has been a major sponsor of the World War Brick event since its inception. Will Chapman is giving the featured presentation on Friday evening to Weekend Pass holders.

Supporting Our Veterans

World War Brick has been dedicated to supporting our Veterans since the first one was held in Chicago in 2012. Many activities such as the raffle and auction are specifically designed with fund-raising in mind, with all proceeds being donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. At World War Brick 2015 we raised over $10,000 and plan to far exceed that figure in 2016!
