I’ve been building LEGO sets since I was four years old. My first set was “Jabba’s Message” in 2003.

The best thing about building with LEGO bricks is that I can build whatever comes from my imagination. I’ve come up with many of my own ideas, including a large spaceship, my own BIONICLE® characters, and castles. When I get a new set, I build it according to the directions, but it isn’t long before I’m using the pieces to build my own creations.

Right now, my favorite LEGO theme is BIONICLE. I like mixing up my sets; it’s like making up my own action figures!

My mom signed me up for the LEGO Club when I was seven years old. I love getting the magazine every month.
A few months ago, I got a postcard in the mail about the LEGO Club meetings. I was very excited when my mom signed me up for the Star Wars™ meeting. The best part about the meeting was when we divided into teams to build something to find R2-D2. It was a good opportunity to meet other LEGO Club members and see what they could build. The meeting was lots of fun and I liked the t-shirt and bricks we got to take home!

The second meeting I went to was based on LEGO Agents. This time, my best friend Paul went with me. Each team built something to help the Agents catch the “bad guys”. Our team built traps, a jet and a speedboat. All of our ideas worked together. I definitely want to go to more meetings!

Thanks, Caleb! Hey, Club members – the next season of LEGO Club Meetings starts in January! To find out about meetings near you, don’t forget to visit the LEGO Club Events Calendar.
