How to join

Are you an Adult Fan of LEGO (18+) who lives in the New York City tri-state area? Are you interested in meeting other AFOLs, working on collaborative projects, and developing your building skills?

If the answer is yes, e-mail us at contact@ilugny.org. We’ll invite you to our next meeting or event where you can see what we’re all about. If you decide to join, you have two options for membership level.

If you become a Casual member, you get:

  • to attend meetings and events.
  • access to the private member forum.
  • access to the private member live chat.

Pro Members ($60/year, $5/month) also get:

  • eligibility to win attendance prizes and participation awards at meetings (generally new/sealed LEGO sets).
  • 15% off at the LEGO Store on AFOL Days (happens quarterly).

The more active you are in the LUG, the more you’ll get back, especially as a pro member. Dues help to cover our operating costs (storage locker to store LUG property, web-hosting fees for the website/forum). If you join later in the year, the dues are prorated monthly.

If you’re under 18, you’ll just have to wait. Sorry! There are lots of online communities that allow teens to participate, like Brickset (16+) or in Flickr groups.

If you’re looking for something for your child, we recommend checking out the LEGO Club and FIRST LEGO League. You can also ask your local school or library about LEGO programs.

If you’re outside the New York tri-state area, use this map to find a LUG near you.
