Officers are elected by current ULUG members. All positions are non-paid, volunteer positions. Current officers will serve from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027.
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!
There were 46 people in attendance, including 5 guests and 5 remote viewers.
At this meeting, we elected new club officers.
These new officers will serve for two years, starting on January 1, 2026. The next elections will be held in November of 2027.
This meeting had our first round of breakout stations, which were places to get help or feedback with:

Held at the Stadler US facility, the train show offered rail enthusiasts a chance to see the manufacturing facility where they build commuter trains.
The ULUG train loop had eighteen connected displays from sixteen builders, covering around 450 square feet of Lego. Two tracks circled the entire space, and destinations along the route included:
Utah’s largest comic and media convention, FanX is an annual chance for fans to meet celebrities, dress in cosplay, attend panels, and engage with their favorite fandoms. It is the largest comic convention per capita in North America!
ULUG brought several builds to delight fans and show the variety of things that LEGO can do – from mosaics inspired by Star Wars and the Big Bang Theory, to brick-built video game scenes from Pokémon, Minecraft, to pirate ships big and… well, bigger! The show-stopping build was the 12-foot long collaboration: the up-scaled Black Seas Barracuda!
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.

It was another successful year at BrickSlopes for ULUG and members! This year’s theme was “A Pirate’s Life for Me” and the show was open to the public for three days with thousands of attendees. As the largest event of the year in the mountain west for AFOLs (adult fans of LEGO), it was a great chance to connect with other builders, showcase our best builds, and share our love of the brick with the public.
One staple of a LEGO convention is awards for the favorite MOCs of the judges, the attendees, and the public. ULUG members took home 13 awards!
Once again, ULUG coordinated and hosted the train loop at BrickSlopes. In addition, dozens of ULUG members brought their MOCs and attended the convention to share their builds with the public. Here are some of the MOCs by ULUG members from the show:
We all have many different talents – this group however is to share our LOVE of LEGO – keep it to that.
As a general rule, builds should be made with genuine LEGO parts, not 3rd party or alternate bricks1.
This isn’t the place to debate politics or religion. Promotion, solicitation, fund-raising, etc. at ULUG meetings, events, or in ULUG communication channels are not allowed.
While primarily an adult-focused club, ULUG recognizes that LEGO is often a hobby members shared with children and families. In addition, our events and meetings are attended by the public. Builds, communications, and conduct should not include2:
The word LEGO famously comes from the Danish words leg and godt , meaning “play well.” ULUG is committed to this as our guiding mantra. All of us found our way here because we have a love for LEGO, let’s encourage each other to be the best builders we can be.
