Cactus Brick had a mid-sized display at Bricks & Minifigs in Chandler on Dec 17th, 2023.  Here are a few pictures from the display.

Cactus Brick had a club meeting on Dec. 16, 2023.  Our main event was a Dirty Brickster which everyone had loads of fun.  Also, a few of our club members brought Lego items in that they’ve been working on.

Cactus Brick held it’s November meeting on Nov. 18, 2023.  Several of our club members brought their Lego projects in.

Four of our club members (and 2 spouses) went to a Lego convention in Santa Clara, California called Bricks by the Bay. There were about 300 AFOLs (Adults Fan of Lego) attending and a little more than 3000 visitors on the public days.  We put together a 12.5′ x 25′ large City and Train layout. We won the Best Large Team Large Display award and a Pop Culture award for “Looking to Pop Back” for Jennifer’s Muppet theater.  Here are some pictures of that display:

Tucson Comic-Con was a smaller display for us, but we put as much as we could in the space we had.  Our main parts of the display was Castle and then on the side some Star Wars, DC and even the Expanse with Rocinante.  This was on display from Sept. 2nd to 4th, 2022.

We have a display at Phoenix Comicon 2017. Our area is 30’x40′ and we have 4 sections, city/train, Pirate battle, Star Wars, Misc. Here’s a few pictures:

We have a window display at Norterra shopping center through May. We are still adding things to it over the next several weeks. But here’s some pictures of what we’ve put in so far:
