20th Anniversary Celebration of the LEGO Millyard


General

 From Sat June 20 through Fri June 26 NELUG will be at the SEE Science Center in Manchester NH for a weeklong celebration of the 20th anniversary of the unveiling and dedication of the LEGO Millyard display.  The LEGO Millyard is the largest LEGO display at minifig scale in the world and 20 years ago NELUG worked with two LEGO Masters from The LEGO Group to build the display.  The celebration at SEE will consist of a special event area where visitors can help build a community mosaic, build vehicles with pullback motors and explore how they work, build their own LEGO city creations and stamp a LEGO Millyard postcard that can be brought home!  In addition, there will be an exciting display of My-Own-Creations (MOCs) built by NELUG members that will inspire visitors with what is possible with LEGO bricks.  NELUG members who helped build the LEGO Millyard will also be on hand to answer any questions about the building of the display.  Museum hours are 10am-5pm Sat-Sun and 10am-4pm Mon-Fri.  Hours for the special event area are 10:30am-12:00pm and 1:30pm-3pm every day.  Come join us for a fun time at SEE!

 Welcome!

The New England LEGO Users Group (NELUG) was formed in August of 1999 for the sole purpose of facilitating adults in the sharing of the LEGO hobby. Participation, though not required, is highly encouraged. NELUG does not favor one form of the hobby over any other, affording its membership a diverse range of exposure. NELUG's primary goal is camaraderie that is achieved by providing members the opportunity to meet other adults who share a common fascination of LEGO through correspondence, meetings and events.

For new members

NELUG is a semi-private group and we do charge a minimal annual dues payment for membership. If you are interested in joining, please read our By-laws. If you meet the membership requirements, you may join by signing up for an account on the website. Your dues must be paid within the month that you join. If you would like to talk with someone regarding membership please send a short detailed message and someone will get back to you shortly.

Potential Clients

If you have a potential project for NELUG please submit a short detailed message and one of our Executive Committee members will get back to you promptly. In the past we have done large commissioned works like those done for The New England Home Show or as simple as setting up our club train layout for Rhode Island Cooks. Our ability to fullfill a request depends on your requirements and our skill set, so please get in touch with us as early as possible when planning a project so we can decide if NELUG can meet your needs.


Boston 2026 World Expo

NELUG Bringing Interactive Display to Stamp Show


General

NELUG will occupy an exhibition space of nearly 4,000 square feet, creating one of the largest themed displays on the show floor. The area will feature a wide range of custom LEGO models and interactive elements designed to celebrate both mail and creativity.

Among the highlights will be postal-themed LEGO creations, including builds inspired by post offices, mail transportation and the history of postal communication. A special section will also showcase LEGO as it appears on postage stamps from around the world, highlighting how the iconic brick has been celebrated in philately by numerous postal administrations.

A centerpiece of the display will be a large Boston skyline mosaic built entirely from LEGO bricks, paying tribute to the host city of the exhibition.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on community mosaic build during the entire show. Attendees will help assemble two large collaborative mosaics: one depicting the Boston 2026 World Expo stamp, and another featuring the 2026 United States Happy Birthday stamp design. Participants will be invited to place bricks that gradually bring these images to life over the course of the weekend.

Additional activities are planned throughout the LEGO display area. A special commemorative postcard created for the exhibit will be distributed to visitors, and collectors will be able to visit a brick-themed handstamp station, where the postcard can be postmarked as a souvenir of the event.

Support for the exhibit is being provided Boston 2026 with coordination by Scott Stamp LLC, publisher of the Scott catalogs, Linn’s Stamp News and Scott Stamp Monthly. (https://scottstamp.com/)

The Boston 2026 World Expo, an international philatelic exhibition sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP), will take place May 23–30, 2026, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. (http://boston2026.org/)
