LEGO Modulars Around the World: Celebrating 20 Years of Modulars

LEGO prepares to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic LEGO Icons Modular Building Collection in 2027 with a massive global initiative. Twenty-two Recognized LEGO User Groups (LUGs) from around the world are uniting to undertake an extraordinary collaborative project. These fan communities will recreate legendary modular buildings at approximately four times their original scale for special public exhibitions and major LEGO fan events.

This ambitious worldwide collaboration spans North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, involving participating fan groups such as BuffaLUG, Charm City LUG, ColonialLUG, Houston Brick Club, IdahoLUG, Lincoln Omaha LEGO User Group, LUGVegas, Western Michigan LEGO User Group, Fraser Valley LUG, Southern Alberta LEGO User Group, ToroLUG, Vancouver LEGO Club, and Seniors Brick, among others. To bring these giant structures to life, the LUGs will utilize approximately 500,000 elements for standard builds, while larger creations will demand up to 750,000 pieces. In total, the project will consume roughly 11.5 million LEGO elements.

This upcoming 2027 celebration highlights the incredible creativity, dedication, and global reach of the adult fan of LEGO (AFOL) community. As builders gear up for this massive undertaking and sort through millions of bricks for their giant modular creations, it serves as a reminder of how far the modular line has come since its inception. If you are inspired to build your own scaled-up projects or organize your growing collection at home, you might want to pick up a LEGO storage organizer or some brick separator tools to make the building process smoother.
