TexLUG will be putting on a display for the residents (and their guests) of Oasis Lifestyles Assisted Living.
Oasis Lifestyles
11919 W. Airport
Stafford, Texas 77477
12pm to 3pm
Please visit the discussion forum for more information.
Starting this month (July), we’ll meet up at the Baybrook LEGO Store on the 2nd Saturday of every month. The purpose of the meet-up will be to change out the Window on the Community display case. Each monthly display will be created by one or more TexLUG members.
More info and details can be found on our discussion forum. Look for the sticky post within the Houston chapter category. Discussions are held there to determine the time of the meet-up and who is building for the upcoming display.
This past weekend was the grand opening of the new LEGO® store in Baybrook Mall (Friendswood, TX).
TexLUG was invited out to help with the giant build, and we had a terrific group of folks show up. All went very well. By late afternoon, Sunday, Yoda was finally done.
Just a quick reminder for all you TexLUG Blog readers out there - the Baybrook LEGO Store Grand Opening festivities begin on Friday at 10 am. If you are volunteering first thing in the morning then you should be at the event site at 9 am for introductions and set-up.
We will be replacing the Window into the Community display on Saturday night at 9 pm, after store hours. If you cannot be there but would like to have your contribution included, be sure to hand your vignette off to someone who will be.

TexLUG now has a dedicated forum. Please join us there for group discussions, club announcements, and general member chat.
Many, many thanks to Jared for setting up and hosting the forum for the group.
The store is open! Check out Tony’s photos from yesterday.
UPDATE: Chris’s Photos from the soft opening.
We’ve been given a few more details concerning the opening of the new Baybrook LEGO store.
The store will be having a ’soft opening’ (approx. June 5th - date subject to change) before the Grand Opening. There will be no real celebration, but TexLUG has been invited to fill the community window with a display on one of the preceding days (TBD).
The Grand Opening will be from June 20th through the 22nd and will involve a giant Yoda build. While TexLUG will not be putting on a display of our own, we have been invited to volunteer to help with the giant build and to fill the community window with a new display (replacing the one from the soft opening).
In the immediate future there will be a build party in Houston (date TBD) to help build some of the store displays (sets). If you would like to be involved in this or any of the festivities please join the email list and introduce yourself.

The TexLUG website now has multiple editors. Tony, Chris M., and Tim volunteered, and they’re now able to contribute to this page. They will help keep our site updated with news, etc. from TexLUG and the world of LEGO. Many, many thanks, guys!
I created this blog specifically for that purpose. The TexLUG site will definitely benefit from multiple contributors. We are all busy with our normal lives, especially those of us who have become parents in recent years I’m very guilty of letting things go on this site and not maintaining it as I should. So I look forward to getting help from our editors and having regular updates to the site!
best,

Great news! A LEGO Store is opening up in Texas!
Specifically at Baybrook Mall in Houston. We’ve been asked to be involved in the grand opening in some fashion (details will be posted when they are made available). Several TexLUG ‘regulars’ already plan to attend the grand opening, so if you’re interested in meeting the rest of the group, this would be a great opportunity.
There will also be a ‘Window on the Community’ in the store. For those unaware, the WotC is a small, locked plastic box with a transparent face that LEGO allows local clubs to fill with MOCs and other various things. The WotC at other stores have some pretty tight dimensions, especially being more tall than wide, so join the email discussion to help plan future layouts.
