April 16th, 2010

Welcome to the new season for the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum. Over the next few weeks you will begin to see pics and links to our winter updates!

We have new rooms under construction, and should be complete by the time we open full time in May.

We have a new resident artist on board, and she is doing a wonderful job on the new Lion's Den room! Cannot wait to share pictures with you.

One of our original ideas is now in full swing. My passion while building the museum was flea markets! Well the upstairs of the museum now looks like one! We have MANY generations of toys! Everything you can think of, and it will be ever expanding. Come and check it out. Many toys from your childhood! Also we have MANY new displays, a new layout or 3 and as always a ton of fun!

Feel free to book your parties online, or contact the office to schedule.

And a word from our founder!!!

Welcome to my dream. The ONLY LEGO based museum in the world. We are

http://www.brickstore.net
http://www.brickmuseum.net and soon http://www.plasticbrickmuseum.net/ / .com

During the past few months we have been getting advice from people on any problems we have been facing in the tourism market!

One of the main problems we faced was the name change game. Due to legal reasons that has been all over the place! We are now 100% secure, and approved for;

Toy and Plastic Brick Museum

In 2009 we will have a fluid campaign to advertise this.Our business model includes you, the MOC builder;We plan to have the following happen in 2009;

Continue to build the PBM Collection
Continue to feature LEGO builders in the museum
Continue to grow

New to 2010;

We are planning to open the new Dex lab
We are planning to open the new Lion's Den
We are planning to open the new Canadian room!
We are continuing to improve the museum and add to the "Toy and" portion weekly as well.

New to 2009;

We are planning a mass build of sets.
We are hoping to have one of each of the sets from 1970-date in house by 2010.
This means sorting, planning, building,and a bunch of effort from the community and staff to make this happen.
We are going to be working on the building during the winter and getting it more"green friendly". A 100yr old school is not very heat/cooling friendly!!!
We plan to complete the "Water Room" as well as the "Creators Lab".
These will be 2 new theme rooms coming to the museum as well.

We are now looking for a grant writer!!!
So if that is you please contact us.
We are now looking for a IPO business planner for future offerings for the for profit side of the business.
Again if that is you please contact us

2009 for the Adult Fan

For 2009;

Hello all. I have been staying away from the BL forum due to negative people.

I would like to announce a few changes for the Plastic Brick Museum in the coming weeks;

1.) We are looking for people online to design a professional builder design set for us.

2.) Beginning in 2009 we will be sponsoring our own professional builder program.

What this includes;

Paid gigs, sponsored builds, and a "Shows and Events" portion of the museum which will have you going to shows, showing what you can do and of course traveling with life size models!
If you dream is to be a professional builder of LEGO by trade, this will be a 1st good step for you.
We have almost unlimited brick supplies and soon we will be having nationwide show schedules for promotion of the museum/building program.

3.) AFOL programs that will enhance your building life. With this announcement I would like to provide an insight to the museum in Bellaire OHIO.

In the past two weeks a HUGE negative was lifted from the museum. The "Toy and Plastic Brick Museum" is our final approved name change. We will be free to do/build what we want without problems (less copyright restrictions of course), and we will/are the only one in existence. There can be NO OTHERS LEGALLY.

We will begin in 2009 our "Guest Builder" program. This program is simple. Your club sponsors you to come to Ohio (in spirit), we will pay your expenses while here, and you just build! All you will need to qualify is a portfolio of your work/list of your theme. The rest is up to you.

In 2009 we will also begin a program designed for the clubs. This is a club sponsor build. We provide the product for you to build with, you keep the product for a time to show off your work at a show/event, then the work comes back to the museum for permanent showing along with the stories/information gathered along the way.

I call it "traveling pants" program. I want the stories to go along with the product. I want the museum to be so interesting people do not want to leave.
Other programs will be announced over the coming months both here and on lugnet. We will also be adding a "programs" link to the website for up and coming AFOL programs.

I would like to add special thanks to the following. I may have missed some people, so send me an E-Mail if you think you need to be on this list. The people and groups involved in the creation of the museum have made it a place I am proud of. I am hoping you will too when you come here.

LEGOLAND(r) CA. When we were down, they came to help. Thanks guys. The addition to the museum was AWSOME.

I would like to add a generic but important note;

I would like to extent thanks to all the people who drove here, donated time and material to the museum, and made me feel good when things seemed overwhelming. It was a huge undertaking to complete the project. Without all of you I would not have kept going in the face of defeat.

A heart felt thanks.
