Hawke's Bay's biggest Lego show was taking shape late yesterday, with an estimated million-plus pieces in 30 exhibits throughout one of Hawke's Bay's biggest stadiums, waiting for possibly more than 7000 people to walk past over the weekend.
It's the second Hawke's Bay Brickshow, which will be open to the public in Napier's Rodney Green Centennial Events Centre at McLean Park from 9am to 5pm today and 10am to 4pm tomorrow.
Enthusiast and Hawke's Bay Lego Users Group member Richard Catley says about 6700 saw the first show last year, and pointers are that even more may pass through this time.
"Many people said it brought back memories, and we had an increase in the number of members of Hawke's Bay LUG afterwards," said Mr Catley who at 37 has 32 years of Lego building, wife Hayley and sons Ryan, 12, Nick, 10, and Adam, 8, all now also enthusiasts.
For him it started with the standard set of about 50 pieces (mainly bricks and roof slats) as a present when he was 5.
