In June we met with LEGO collector Amor Lamine to take a look at his exhibition and interviewed him about his passion for all things LEGO and Star Wars. During the interview, he invited Jedi News back to the Live Build he had scheduled.
After lengthy discussions and calling in of favours, Team Jedi News are pleased to announce that we will be helping launch the ‘Amor LEGO Exhibition & Live Build’ which is being held at Himley Hall, Dudley, UK on the 21st and 22nd July 2018. The event is being held to raise funds for The Mayor of Dudley’s charities. Entry is free, and the live build will be on all weekend.
Amor will be accompanied by Steve, Jason and Mark from Jedi News, who will also be joined by friends from the West Midlands Garrison to launch the start of event between 11am and 2pm on Saturday 21st July 2018.
Amor will be starting the weekend by building the latest LEGO UCS Y-Wing, which has been very kindly supplied by LEGO. We would also like to extend our thanks The Entertainer toy shop in Wolverhampton, who have kindly donated a £15 voucher as a raffle prize.
50 exclusive badges have been commissioned to commemorate the event and will be available for a £1 donation to the Mayor’s Charity. These will be available on a first come, first served basis. Check back later this week for a reveal of the badge design.
Please spread the word and come along to the event for the opportunity to meet the Star Wars characters, have your photos taken with them and have a chat with Amor, Steve, Jason and Mark.
If you can’t make the Live Build, please take time to visit the exhibition when you are in the area. It is open daily throughout the summer, until late September. Please check the Himley Hall website for opening times and what else this venue has to offer.
