Lego sculptures in the Edgar Centre left children and adults wide-eyed with wonder at the Dunedin Brick Show over the weekend.

Lego Users Group Otago (Lugo) president Jaqui Hay said exhibitors from Auckland to Southland brought along their unique creations to showcase a collection of "awe-inspiring" sculptures to the public.

"There’s kids exhibiting, there’s adults exhibiting, teenagers; a huge amount of people have come to participate."

Lego sculpture piece 'Mount Clutchmore Showdown' built by Lego Masters season winner Jake Roos was an interactive sculpture which ran a three-minute moving show of driving cars with a big reveal at the end.

Among the creations was past Lego Masters season one winner Jake Roos’ moving piece called Mount Clutchmore Showdown, which was an impressive build that featured a three-minute moving showcase. Parents attempted in vain to drag their children away from watching the fantastical display over and over again.

The event was organised in tandem with Lugo and the Dunedin Rotary Club, with all proceeds going to the Otago Youth Wellness Trust.

The day also included speed-build competitions, a cosplay parade, a blind-build competition and performances from magician Jonathan Usher and a brick-filled science show by Amadeo Enriquez-Ballestero.
