Joe 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).

Mark from MMCB Capes has been hard at work printing up special flags for World War Brick! Weekend Pass holders should find one in their Goody Bags and they will also be in raffle prizes for the general public.
