DoubleBrick Fest - Russia’s First AFOL Event

Our first AFOL event, DoubleBrick Fest, took place on the last two days of spring 2009. This was our first experience with a public event, as the AFOL community was founded in Russia just a few years ago. While it was small and modest in comparison with other annual worldwide known events and exhibitions, we’re very proud that we made this first step with fan events.

This past January, the DoubleBrick community presented an all-new idea of entertainment for LEGO fans. It’s very simple: we suggest that you build a copy of any real truck from LEGO bricks and to compete in races for fastest and most accurate cargo delivery. You can run small racing competitions at your local club meeting or schedule the contest as part of a large event – it’s always fun and attentiongetting, as highly detailed working truck models are good for display at any show. The basic idea is simple and straightforward. One has not to be a technic geek to build a truck. Still, there a lot of possibilities for experienced builders to show their skills.

The DoubleBrick community was started four years ago, when almost nothing LEGO-related was available online in Russian. Since then, things have changed. Several other sites and forums have appeared. Even the official LEGO site was translated into Russian a little bit. Still we have a shortage of online resources in our native language.
