2026 is the twentieth anniversary of the Utah Lego Users Group! Founded in 2006, ULUG has been actively connecting fans of the brick and sharing that passion with the community.

For BrickSlopes 2025, thirty-four ULUG members came together to build an up-scaled version of the classic LEGO pirate ship, the Black Seas Barracuda. At a 6-to-1 scale, the final ship was nearly 12 feet long, 5.5 feet wide, and 11 feet tall!

Each piece of the original 1989 set was rebuilt at six times the size, resulting in a giant ship that was assembled on-site using the original instructions. The ship also included up-scaled pirates, an up-scaled minifig mermaid for the front, and an upscaled classic LEGO monkey!

ULUG members Corey and Rebecca were contestants on Season 5 of LEGO Masters! Corey and Rebecca did exceptionally well on the season, reaching the semifinals and winning the Motion challenge with an impressive build featuring moving figures dancing the twist. Their first build paid homage to their Utah roots, including a giant arch and ski slope.
