An Overview of Our Next 1,500+ Base Plate LEGO® City Exhibit

Our first goal is to make a difference in people's lives by creating a never before seen, one-of-a-kind, museum-quality LEGO® city exhibit with LED lights that will incorporate virtually all of the LEGO® brick kits suitable for use in a town setting that have been released over the past 40 years so that both children and adult fans of LEGO® (AFOL) of all ages can enjoy seeing all of the kits together in a single well organized, highly detailed town. Our second goal is make a very large number of videos available to instill and encourage creativity, imagination, curiosity, and inventiveness in children and adults for decades to come just like we've already begun doing. This is the legacy we want to pass on to both current and future generations of LEGO® builders of all ages. As one of the largest collectors and active builders of new LEGO® kits in the world, we are thoroughly equipped and highly qualified to make this next exhibit a reality for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to seeing our own custom LEGO® brick creations, viewers of the videos of our next unique and vastly expanded exhibit will be able to explore the full 40-year history and evolution of LEGO® City kits, and the intricate artistry of over 1,300 unique LEGO® brick kits all in one enormous, awe-inspiring, thoughtfully organized exhibit that is gorgeously detailed. But even more importantly, our plans don’t stop there. Of noteworthy significance is the fact that unlike most museum exhibits which remain stagnant and in their original form for decades, we will continue to purchase new releases of LEGO® brick kits so that our exhibit will continue to expand both in size and beautiful detail.

Also of major importance is the fact that in our next giant exhibit, we won’t just be showing hundreds of videos of the finished exhibit, but we will also be showing the planning and diagramming of the exhibit; all of the creative and imaginative ways that we construct the table top base so that it is easily expandable and stays perfectly level for decades, how we prepare the table top for easily concealable USB wiring; the variety of USB power sources, dimmers and hubs that we use; the variety of different miniature USB lighting used throughout the town and in our airport runways and helipads; the creative and decorative enhancements that we incorporate both inside and outside all of the buildings and houses; the botanical and lighting enhancements that turn the finished exhibit into a truly magical experience that will foster creativity and inventiveness in children, and finally a video about keeping your LEGO® brick display clean which is a major task if you have a large display and like to keep it dust-free.

As you will see in one of our videos (below) that we recorded in October 2018 - more than a year before we finished building our current exhibit and went live online, we show 126 new LEGO® kits that we hadn't even opened and built. Since then, we've purchased hundreds of new LEGO® brick kits that are just waiting to be built along with the 126 kits shown in the video. And this is in addition to the hundreds of vehicles, boats, and planes that have already been built and that are just waiting for adequate space to be displayed. That brings our total number of unique numbered LEGO® brick products to well over 1,300 as of this writing which will result in an incredible view of the majority of LEGO® town and city kits released since 1980 all together in one incredible, well organized, and highly detailed exhibit that will be six times its current size of 274 baseplates. And with an estimated population of over 5,000 LEGO® citizens, we will continue with the same themes of people at work, people at play, people going places, and even more social interactivity. So we have the kits, and we have the know-how. All we need now is just the space to build the world's largest museum-quality, fully LED lit LEGO® city exhibit ever seen.

In this video we discuss our plans to expand our LEGO® town exhibit from 274 base plates to over 1,500 base plates. The main reason that we originally shot this video years before we went online was to let everyone know that we are indeed a major collector of LEGO® city kits that have been released since 1980 and that we really do have definite plans to build a magnificent new 1,500+ baseplate LEGO® town exhibit with lights. Since this video was shot, we have added hundreds more new kits to our collection. Click here to watch our Expansion Plans Video

Specific Details About Our Expansion Plans For a Fully LED Lit 1,500+ Base Plate LEGO® City Exhibit With Lights

Our table below will give you an idea of what new areas we will be adding to the town exhibit, and how much larger each of our existing areas will be. More importantly, below the table is a brief overview of what we will be building in each area. Based on the minifigure counts in the unbuilt kits plus additional minifigures that we've been purchasing, our new town population should easily exceed 5,000 LEGO® citizens! Please remember that we already own all of these kits. They are securely locked up off-site in an indoor temperature controlled Public Storage unit, and are just waiting for us to acquire the space to build this magnificent new town.

Renewable Energy Station Including 20 Large Solar Panels & 7 Motorized Wind Turbines – One of our goals is to have our LEGO® brick town exhibit be a model for green cities of tomorrow representing the future of what our planet needs for long term survival. To increase the awareness of the benefits of renewable clean energy, our town will include a new 20 baseplate area with 20 custom-built large LEGO® brick solar panels measuring 12 by 12 pegs each, along with four motorized wind turbines (model #10268) and three motorized wind turbines (model #7747) that will make up the simulated renewable energy generation for the entire town. Climate change is affecting not only people, but also animals, fish, and all of the ecosystems throughout the world. This clean energy section of our town is meant to draw attention to these facts and how further commitments to more clean energy will help to preserve our beautiful planet for generations to come.

Residential – The residential area will increase from our current 19 houses on 48 baseplates which includes streets, to an area comprised of 129 baseplates and approximately 40 homes. Each of the lots will become larger to accommodate room for more outside family activities, and many of the new large two-story homes will be custom built. The residential area will also include Ole Kirk's house (the founder of LEGO®). This gorgeous home was kit #4000007 which was a Christmas gift to LEGO® employees in 2012. We were very fortunate to be able to acquire Ole's house in a brand new factory sealed box.

Lakes and Interconnecting Rivers – The lake area will dramatically increase in size from 4 to 96 baseplates and will be segmented into separate areas for different types of water activities. It will be comprised of several lake areas that will be interconnected by river waterways comprised of single rows of additional blue baseplates. It will allow space for a commercial harbor for large commercial vessels, a new Coast Guard facility, ferry landing dock, fishing, recreational boating, and swimming. It will include the vast majority of all of the recreational and commercial boats that LEGO® has made over the years.

Beach and Giant Water Slide – The beach area will not only increase in size from 5.5 baseplates to 12 baseplates to allow for more social interaction and fun in the sun, but it will also include a multi-story tall water park slide.

Park Area – Our park area will increase in size from 13.5 to 42 baseplates with even more large custom built trees and flowers, and will accommodate more outdoor activities and social interaction. We will also be adding an adjacent dog park.

Large Metropolitan Downtown Area – Our showcase downtown area which is comprised of the large LEGO® modular buildings will increase in size from 108.5 to 207 baseplates. In addition to tripling the size of the Grand Emporium and doubling the size of the Assembly Square, we will also be adding all of the rest of the existing and newly released large modular downtown buildings which we already own. We will also be adding several custom built high-rise office buildings.

Amusement Park – The amusement park will more than double in size from 21 to 52 baseplates to allow for another roller coaster, a go cart track, video arcade game building, numerous other smaller attractions which have been released this past year, plus any other new amusement park releases that come out over our two year building period.

Freight Train Unloading and Delivery Center – Our freight train unloading and delivery area which includes numerous overhead cranes will increase from 24.5 to 60 baseplates to accommodate the additional rail spurs which will run through that area.

Construction Yard – Our construction yard area will increase from 15 to 42 baseplates and will include the public works center along with the dozens of smaller scale construction vehicles that aren't currently out on a job somewhere in town.

Train Yards – As is the case with everything else that we're describing on this page, we already own these new trains and will be doubling the number of our existing motorized freight and commuter trains from 8 to 17. Instead of a single train track, we will have multiple train tracks going through, and surrounding our new town. We will be increasing the size of our exiting train yard from 20 to 120 baseplates to accommodate not only the new trains, but also the additional train cars and switch tracks necessary for this large number of locomotives and train cars. There will be one train yard for freight trains and a second train yard for passenger trains, and each of the two train yards will be 60 baseplates in size.

Small Plane Airport – Our existing small plane airport will increase from 14 to 36 baseplates plus we will have 48 additional baseplates for permanent parking of the dozens of small LEGO® planes which we've built over the years so that our runways aren't clogged with dozens of planes at the same time.

Large Jet Airport – The size of the new jumbo jets which have been released by LEGO® over the past decade require a wider runway configuration than the smaller airplanes require. So we will be building a second airport comprised of 72 baseplates to accommodate the new larger passenger and cargo jumbo jets. And as we have planned for our smaller airport, we will be adding 36 additional baseplates of parking areas for the larger jumbo jets so that the runways aren't cluttered with planes.

Warehouse Area – This new 66 baseplate area will be adjacent to the freight train unloading and delivery center and will be comprised of custom built warehouses including the main centerpiece which will be a very large custom built LEGO® warehouse with numerous LEGO® semi-trucks being loaded in the rear area of the building.

North Woods – This new densely wooded 78 baseplate area which will be populated with camping vehicles, cabins, tents, and dozens of tall custom made trees will border the north end of our expanded recreational lake area. It will be a true paradise for campers, fishermen, hikers, rock climbers, and everyone who enjoys any aspect of the great outdoors. The centerpiece of the North Woods will be the gorgeous 14 inch tall tree house which was released in 2019, and is reminiscent of the Swiss Family Robinson tree house. Adventurous children walking through the woods will even find the new Winnie the Pooh cabin along with Pooh Bear, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabbit.

Commercial Area by the North Woods – Across from the north woods and adjacent lake area will be a 60 baseplate area with a number of commercial buildings including the Old Fishing Store built next to a pier, the forest police station, a diner, gas station, Coast Guard headquarters, several piers for the large commercial vessels and the ferry, plus the iconic Kwik-E Mart.

Farm and Stables - In addition to all of the LEGO® farm kits and numerous cows, pigs, hens, and roosters that we already own, we will also be including custom built crops on this sprawling 90 baseplate farm. Additionally, there will be a gorgeous custom built greenhouse, and on the southern edge of the farm will be our vastly expanded riding stable with numerous horses.

Suburban Downtown Area – This new 84 baseplate suburban downtown area will be comprised of the smaller scale commercial buildings that LEGO® has released over the years including those that we currently have around the perimeter of parts of our current town. And for lovers of popular old TV shows will be the very highly detailed LEGO® Central Perk from the "Friends" TV series which also features new look-alike minifigures of the seven stars of the show. And from the long-running "Sesame Street" series which began in 1969 will be the new LEGO® 123 Sesame Street kit along with minifigures of the five main characters of the popular children's show.

Asian Architecture – This very gorgeous new 24 baseplate area will include a number of new kits that were initially released only in the Asian markets. These new kits included a Chinese restaurant, lion dance, dragon dance, dragon boat race, and Chinese New Year Temple Fair. To accentuate these gorgeous kits, we will also be including the majority of the kits with very ornate architecture which are part of the NINJAGO® series. These kits will include the NINJAGO® City, City Docks, City Gardens, Temple of Airjitzu, and the Monastery of Spinjitzu among others. We won't be including any Ninja battles or warriors, but instead we will be focusing on the same type of Asian architectural beauty and diversity that you'd see in a large metropolitan city. When thoughtfully organized together in the same area of town, these two groups of kits will be very complimentary to each other and will make a breathtaking addition to an already gorgeous city.

Harry Potter World – We already have Harry, Hermione, and the rest of the crew walking around and enjoying our town, so we thought it would be especially nice to have a 24 baseplate area at the far edge of town which will include the Great Hall, Clock Tower, Astronomy Tower, Whomping Willow, and several other Harry Potter kits including the Hogwarts Express and train station to get them there for their magical training.

Disney Castle Area – This new 24 baseplate area will feature the new Disney Castle, train station, and train which were released in the fall of 2019 plus any additional Disney kits released in the future. The highly detailed replica of Cinderella's iconic castle also features Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, and the delightful Tinker Bell of course.

Winter Village – This new 36 baseplate addition will feature all of the LEGO® Winter Village kits released since 1980. Once we add the LED lighting, this area will transform into a sparkling winter wonderland!

Zoo and Wildlife Center – This awesome new 42 baseplate addition will feature all of the new LEGO® wildlife kits released in the summer of 2021 along with all of the various animals and safari kits from LEGO® kits in prior years. We anticipate placing the zoo adjacent to the amusement park. This wonderful new addition will finally allow us to showcase all of the different mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and fish released by LEGO® over the years in a single area.

Outdoor Race Car Museum – This new 36 baseplate addition will feature virtually every race car and dragster of every size and style released since 1980. It will also include all of the buildings and accessories which have come with the various race car track kits. It will include ample parking so that our citizens can visit with the dozens of drivers of every single race car on display in the outdoor race car museum, and of course, take selfies with the drivers too!

Under Active Construction by LEGO® Workers – This new 72 baseplate area will be home to the dozens of large scale construction vehicles, cranes, and kits that have been released by LEGO® over the years. The dozens of workers in this construction area will be both demolishing older buildings and building new commercial buildings using virtually all of the cranes and construction kits ever released. We plan on making this area as detailed and realistic as every other area in town.

Dirt Track for Dune Buggies, Dirt Track Cars, and Dirt Bikes – This new 20 baseplate area will be a wonderful new area for all of the gorgeous dune buggies, dirt track cars, and dirt bikes that have been released by LEGO® over the years to race around to their heart's content. Included in this area will be concession stands and ample parking for spectators to watch all of them in action.

Again, please remember that we already own all of these kits. The kits that aren't featured in our current layout are securely locked up off-site in an indoor temperature controlled Public Storage unit and are just waiting for us to acquire the funds to acquire the space to build this magnificent new museum-quality LEGO® city exhibit.
