If you’re a fan of LEGO® and gaming, mark your calendars for an event that’s built for fans. Later this month, select LEGO® stores across the UK, Ireland, and Europe are rolling out a Gaming Controller Make & Take event. This is your chance to build and take home a mini LEGO® gaming controller, completely free of charge.

LEGO® Gaming Controller Make & Take Event: Build Your Own Mini Controller!

When and Where Is the Event?

In the UK and Ireland, the event will be held on:

  • Saturday, September 20th, from 10:00 to 12:00
  • Sunday, September 21st, from 12:00 to 14:00

For those in other parts of Europe, the dates and times may vary. To avoid missing out, check your local LEGO® store’s schedule here. Remember, supplies are limited, so arriving early is key.

What Can You Expect?

This Make & Take event is all about celebrating the intersection of LEGO® and gaming. You’ll get to assemble a mini LEGO® gaming controller using bricks provided in-store. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that’s perfect for LEGO® enthusiasts of all ages. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or just starting out, this event is a great way to add a unique piece to your collection.

Why Should You Go?

First off, it’s free. Who doesn’t love free LEGO®? But beyond that, it’s a chance to connect with other fans, enjoy the in-store experience, and maybe even discover some new sets while you’re there. Plus, the mini gaming controller is a cool little build that any LEGO® or gaming fan will appreciate.

Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • Arrive early: Since quantities are limited, showing up right when the event starts increases your chances of snagging a kit.
  • Check local times: If you’re outside the UK or Ireland, double-check the event schedule for your nearest store.
  • Bring the family: Events like these are perfect for a family outing. Kids and adults alike can enjoy the building process together.

A Word to the Wise

These LEGO® Make & Take events are always popular, so don’t be surprised if there’s a line. But trust us, it’s worth the wait. There’s something special about walking away with a LEGO® creation you built yourself, especially when it’s themed around something as universally loved as gaming.

So, set a reminder, rally your fellow LEGO® fans, and head to your nearest store. Who knows? You might leave with more than just a mini gaming controller; you might leave with a newfound appreciation for the creativity that LEGO® brings to every aspect of play.
