BULAT at Star Wars Con 2013

Mabohai Shopping Complex invited BULAT to their first ever Star Wars Convention 9th, 30th November and 1st December 2013.  BULAT was unable to provide a large display, but we did manage to put up three UCS ships as part of the convention:

From Mabohai Shopping Centre press release:

The Management of Mabohai Shopping Complex said:
“We are excited to hold the first Star Wars Fan’s Day event and Convention in Brunei. We are very happy that groups like the 501st Legion, Brunei Troopers, Bulat and private individuals are coming together to show their love to the most lasting and endearing Sci-fi Space Franchise ever, bar none.

Brunei Usergroup Individual Lego Display 2013

The second Brunei Usergroup Individual Lego Display (BUILD 2013) was held recently at the Holiday Lodge Hotel on the 5th November 2013 7pm - 10pm, a day earlier than expected.  Eleven BULAT members were invited by the Admin Team to display their Lego.

　

There were eleven displays total:

Lord of the Rings - Khairul Hazmi

1000 minifigures - Hadi Nasir

Galaxy Squad - Novelty Nostalgia
Exoforce - Halim Jaafar

Ninjago Dragons - Frederick Chan

Vikings - Novelty Nostalgia

Pirate Ships - Frederick Chan

Rainbow City - Jet Lee

Architecture - Philip Chan

Mini Brunei Buildings - Ampuan Hamid

City Harbour - Nazri Ramli & Yumni Hamdani

City scene & Trains - Zulfadli Bakar & Novelty Nostalgia

　

During the event, there was also a Pick-a-Brick table where visitors could purchase bricks by the piece for extremely reasonable prizes.  Generally it was a good time for the BULAT members to meet up, to talk and discuss all things Lego and to 'racun' (poison) each other into areas of Lego that they may not have realised existed in Lego.  The public was also invited to the event and quite a few of them turned up.  It was a good evening for all who attended.
