Last call for contributions to the Royal Exhibition 1898 – our LEGO steampunk collaboration at BrickCon 2025 [Feature]

BrickCon 2025 is fast approaching! Not only is BrickCon the longest-running LEGO fan exhibit in the world, it’s also your chance to meet and build with members of The Brothers Brick. As sponsors of the event, The Brothers Brick is organizing a collaborative display themed around a Steampunk World’s Fair. It’s a chance for builders like you to showcase invention, innovation, and technologies of an alternate tomorrow in bricks. Monowheel vehicles, airships, pavilion booths, Victorian architecture, walking platforms, or even just your Sigfig dressed to the Victorian nines — the only limit is your imagination. As always, we’ll be awarding trophies and prizes at the convention.

If you’ll be attending the event and would like to participate:

  • Join the conversation on our Discord.
  • Select the theme “TBB Royal Exposition 1898” when you register your MOCs.
  • See you on September 6th!

Your model could be featured alongside our own Kimberly Giffen‘s conservatory.

Announcing TBB’s Steampunk collaborative display at BrickCon 2025 [News]

Summer is here, and that means another Brickcon is right around the corner. We had a great time hosting our collaborative display last year, featuring botanical scenes of all shapes, sizes, and scales — there were some truly amazing builds. This year, we want to showcase something a little more ambitious! We hope our community of builders and convention-goers is equally excited to join us in a steampunk world’s fair that we’re calling the Royal Exposition 1898!

Think of a version of a world’s fair like the famous 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, but with a steampunk twist. Monowheel vehicles, airships, pavilion booths, Victorian architecture, walking platforms — the only limit is your imagination. We’ll set up a channel on our Discord and provide some building standards after the jump, and in that channel.
