You are not deceived, yes that is the Hawthorne, it's made of Lego.
00:03
It's that time of year, poor Black Country Brick Show.
00:05
How you doing?
00:06
I'm all right kid, you okay?
00:07
Yeah good thanks.
00:08
So we've got you and your lovely daughter Tilly.
00:10
Yeah.
00:11
And Tilly's made a special number 5.
00:14
Why have you made a number 5 Tilly?
00:16
Because it's Black Country Brick Show's 5th anniversary.
00:21
5th birthday, fantastic.
00:22
5th show isn't it, yeah so it's our 5th show so yeah.
00:25
5th show, cool.
00:26
So go on, for people that don't know about it,
00:28
what is the Black Country Brick Show for?
00:30
Well do you want to tell me to do it?
00:33
Okay, so we're a Lego fan event all for charity
00:38
and two amazing charities Birmingham Children's Hospital and Fairy Bricks as well.
00:42
And the idea is it's a Lego fan event where there's going to be displays,
00:45
sellers, games, characters, loads of cool stuff as well.
00:48
We've even got Lego Robot Wars back as well for this year,
00:51
which sounds as carnage as it is.
00:53
And it's all about raising money for charity,
00:55
offering a great fun community day out as well.
00:58
It is isn't it, it's awesome, I mean I can vouch for that.
01:00
I've took my, I think there were 11 of my lads last year
01:03
and we had a great day out, my two boys.
01:05
And is it the same venue?
01:06
Yeah, same venue, so it's a Phoenix Collegiate Academy in West Brom,
01:10
the 5th and 6th of April
01:11
and you get your tickets on Eventbrite at the moment as well.
01:14
We are selling fast, we sell out every year as well so please get them
01:17
and to save your money, not only does it give you a fun great day out,
01:19
it also goes to our two fantastic charities.
01:22
And that isn't just a sales pitch guys, you do sell out don't you?
01:25
We do sell out, yeah probably sell out.
01:27
And for people that haven't been, talk us through some of the displays.
01:32
They're like works of art aren't they?
01:33
Yeah they are, so we've got master builders from across the UK and Europe as well.
01:37
So one of our biggest ones this year is going to be the Burj Khalifa,
01:39
which is the massive skyscraper in Dubai isn't it I think.
01:44
These guys are coming over from Belgium
01:45
to display over in the Black Country this year as well.
01:47
It lights up, it's responsive to sound so that's a great one.
01:51
We've got Lego towns, we've got flowers.
01:54
What else have we got?
01:55
We've got loads of cool train stuff as well this year as well.
01:58
So yeah, loads of cool displays.
02:00
We've got a massive micro city as well, a huge Ninjago city as well.
02:03
So if your kids are into Ninjago, if you know what that is,
02:06
they're absolutely going to love that and as I say it's a fantastic day out.
02:09
And the makers are there with their displays aren't they for the most part?
02:13
So you can have a chinwag to them.
02:14
Yeah they'll talk to you, they'll ask any questions you've got to ask in terms of techniques
02:18
or just how they've built it and how they've transported it.
02:22
It's always a big one as well.
02:23
Usually how many parts is also a ban of contention in terms of how many they've actually done it.
02:27
But yeah, they're always happy to have a chat, inspire you as well and trust me,
02:31
this one, we do Lego shows together don't we?
02:34
And she comes back and she builds and she inspires her to build better and play better.
02:38
Yeah and do you still have the little Lego pool so kids can have a little dab of a build?
02:42
Yeah, brick pits as well, brick pits.
02:43
We've got a lot more games this year as well so yeah.
02:46
And also the Star Wars guys have had a show as well
02:48
and I've got it on, well they've never had one before so I don't know.
02:51
I've got it on good authority as well, we've got a Darth Vader coming this year as well.
02:54
So it's really cool to see.
02:56
And there's somewhere to grab a bite to eat and a drink as well isn't there?
02:59
So you can really make a day of it can't you?
03:01
Yeah, proper day of it.
03:03
The event starts at 10 o'clock until 4.30 this year as well so we're going to be longer.
03:07
But yeah, there's food there, there's cake stalls,
03:09
the school food's there which is actually really really good.
03:13
As I say, there's picnic areas, we've got buggy areas as well this year as well.
03:16
It's on two floors, we've got lifts ready for access as well
03:19
for disability and wheelchairs as well.
03:21
So it really is an all-exclusive, a fully inclusive day I shall say.
03:25
Awesome, no surprises for guessing who you support.
03:30
Well there will be a Molyneux there for balance as well, I promise you.
03:35
Right, cheers guys, thank you Paul and thank you Tilly.
