Event: May the 4th be with you! Saturday @ LEGO store Bristol 2024

The invitation to attend LEGO stores promoting May 4th new Star Wars LEGO releases, was offered to most costume and droid groups.

R2 was only droid required so I assisted Mike with his, helping him take a break etc without having to worry about putting R2 away etc.

I drove down to his place first and chatted about the day ahead and also the upcoming Mshed event, what needed doing etc.

More on that soon.

His R2 was already loaded up so a short drive to the car parking, and then a short walk over to the LEGO store, in Cabot Circus.

The looks we got 😂😂😂

Us in the lift 😂

We arrived for 11am and the que was long to enter the store still.

The passing shoppers were excited to see R2, some had a shock when me moved, thinking he was just a static display 😂👍🏽

The store was happy with the day, and it was noted that several people had not intended to come in but had done on seeing R2.

We finished up at 4pm after a very busy, warm sunny day!

Hope you all had a great day #Bristol #LEGO

Droids @ Mshed , Bristol : #SWDB24 ……….Sunday July 7th 2024

At the beginning of the year, Mike enquired about the possibility of the M-shed museum’s availability for hosting our South West Droid Builders Day 2024.

Unfortunately they were unable to due to planned work. A few months later he gets a message saying that the work had been postponed till later in the year.

So, Sunday 7th July, we will be hosting a bigger event, due to the shed being cleared so more space inside.

The usual Bristol crew will be in attendance along with loads of Droid Builder’s from all over the country! Who will be bringing their droids from a Galaxy far far away & other SCI-FI universes!
