I built a Huge Wrexham FC Logo out of Lego!
In this video I will show you my latest Lego creation. This is a huge Lego version of the Wrexham AFC logo. It is built on 63 Lego Art base plates and took nearly 10hrs to build. Wrexham has grown a lot in popularity lately thanks to the ownership of Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney and the exposure through their documentary on the Disney+ @platform.
My Logo will be on display at the National Brick Event in Wrexham which will be held on the 15th September 2024. I will also be attending this event as a trader so don't hesitate to come and say hi!
Tickets for the event can be bought here: www.nationalbrickevents.co.uk/event/wrexham

Hi looks great there
Missing your vlogs
Are you going to the Bournemouth brick festival on the 7th of September's
I know it has been a year since you posted. Just checked the Koi on our local (Dutch) Amazon called 'Marktplaats'. Only 2 are listed, one is 165 euro's and the other is 450 euro's. Amazon has none.
How much do you get these raaco units for? You mightve mentioned it in previous videos, sorry!
Do you want to change your opinion of Brentwood after Harrow?
Hi Fred, I was one of the traders at the Brighton show. It was nice to meet you and briefly chat. 😊
This is genius. I've been trying to work this out for a while. Incredibly helpful.
I see myself / my display 😊
Have you made your business into a company Fred or have you not yet reached the limit of what you may earn ‘on the side’? I heard from Iain that in England that amount is 90k which is amazing compared to the netherlands where i live. Here you are only allowed the earn 1800 euro next to your normal job, above that you are basically forced to start a company which i then did earlier this year.
Hi - I'm already a limited company but you only need to be registered for VAT when you do £90k, i Will be registering for VAT at some point this year.
Looks amazing, would be great if Rob & Ryan turned up to see it 😂
Looking good can't wait to see it at Wrexham
Saw this in person yesterday and was amazed at how good it looks !!! Awesome job
Thank you!
Love this ❤
What a fantastic video Fred. Are you a full time or part time seller? Cheers
this is a side hussle for now.. Got a full time job besides my Lego.
i found that stanley small drawer units and amazing, cheap and easy on amazon
does this business actually make a profit?
A huge investment!. Thankfully I still have sufficient space to avoid those overhead unessarary costs each month. Interested to see how this pays off from hobby to the business adventure.
Your local hardware store will likely sell door seals, that will close up the gap between the tables if you're wanting to avoid stick residue from taping them :)
Good suggestion - will have a look into that
Best of luck for the reopening, best regards from Germany 👍😀
Danke
Great Series of Videos, Best of luck with the new expansion.
Looks Amazing Fred
First time watching on your channel. Looking forward to following your channel.
Thank you!
Wowza, been busy! Fingers crossed it all works out for you! #FullTimeLego
Put black or silver duct tape round the top lip of the workbenches. It holds the top to the frame and you can join 2x benches together with it. I've used it for several years and it's still working well 😊
Thanks for the suggestion - not keen on too much tape usage if I can avoid it
It looks very good indeed, what make are the plastic trays as they look a good size.
Great thoughts and all the best for the reopening. We did a recent expansion over here in New Zealand too, but not quite at this scale :D
Looks great Fred. Definitely a lot of hard work to get it to the stage you are at now, but definitely worth it. If you need a DJ for your next rave, you know who to call - Shabba! 😂
Haha yea.. use the unit to have a rave at some point :) - not sure my landlord would be too pleased..
Also would be interested to see a price breakdown of how much this expansion cost you and how long you think/aim for it to take to recoup your investment. I understand maybe that’s too personal, but of course, I’m being nosey.
Congratulations Fred. The end is in sight. Well done for space efficient lay out. I know its janky but a potential quick and cheap solution for the gap between the tables ciuld be white duct tape. Excited aboyt seeing your lighting solution and your tidy home space. Great video Fred. We're all rooting for you
Thanks - I haven't looked into the fix for the gaps between the tables as so far it hasnt been an issue (yet)... my home space is far from Tidy but it's gradually improving. Will be interesting to see what it will be like in a few months time.
I find the trays too time consuming to pick from, do you still need them when you have so many drawers? Good luck with this huge investment!
yes the trays are more time consuming vs the drawers but one Kallax unit hold 1k lots with the trays in them so it's a good way of increasing lot count. The Remarks are also different for the trays vs the drawers so I can easily split the picking as well.
Looks liike a huge investment!
Exciting Fred..very good luck 👍
Thanks 👍
Your new store is looking great
Thank you
Looking good, such a great space for a store. Once you fill that space you will be up there with the biggest stores for sure
Yes - it will take a while to grow it though as the more stock I get, the more sales keep lowering my stock. At least I don't have to worry about space now which is nice.
Ziet er top uit!👍
Dank je wel.
Looking very impressive
Thanks
Got a phone line?
no - but I do have a contact now to deal with BT.
Can’t believe how it’s come on from how it first looked All the best for the future
@@mikesims5422 Thank you
Super interesting, thank you for this useful feedback
Hi Hillian, can you recommend a box size in the UK that fits all Lego boxes (excluding big sets such as AT-AT, Colloseum, Titanic)? If so where can you buy these boxes from. Thanks
Went there when it opened for the first time
Are you going to the Bournemouth professional on the 7th
no I didn't manage to secure tickets for that event.
Just watched Fred , did you solve your comms issues, I’ve just installed Starlink , satellite internet . £75 per month, no long term contract , and was delivered and installed in three days, will support around 300meg download , simple install , im really impressed with performance and very reliable just a thought mate….
Problem is that I don't have access to the outside so can't link to satellites from indoors. I've found a temporary work around with a 4G router which works well enough for Bricklink / Royal Mail.
Hi Fred, looking good exciting times! I have used some good LED lights in my Loft and above my Racco units they are called "Barrina Led Batten Light 2ft, T5 1100lm 10W 6500K Super Bright White LED Garage Workshop Lighting,Wall and Ceiling Batten Lights 6-Pack" they are easy to stick up and you can daisy chain them too.
Exciting times Fred.looking forward to the next vlog
Hi mate - just watched your latest video and great to see you making the step up. One thing I would seriously warn you about is the humidity and mould in the unit - both attack cardboard and paper like you won’t believe and if you have any stock that you are wanting to have exposed to the air it will get badly damaged. Insulating the container and constant air flow is your only solution. Cheers - Paul
Starting to look pretty great Fred, you are getting a lot of extra space to expand your bricklink store.
Thats a lot of hard work so far, but its definitely looking worth it. Looks great so far.
I see all those gaps round the edge of the ceiling where sunlight is getting in. I wonder whether the dehumidifier will be much use when air is so free flowing. Also might be cold in winter. Maybe close those holes up?
Those gaps are not to the outside. its a unit inside of another building. If temperature becomes an issue it's something I will look to close up
What kind of unit is this... Do you have an outside shot. I just wonder about the temperature... Hot and/or cold. So you have air conditioning which would help with the humidity and mold?
