A Global Community

RacoonBricKS may have its roots as a local group, but our community reaches far beyond regional borders. We believe that creativity connects people and creates opportunities for exchange, friendship and shared experiences.

Meeting in person, talking, building together and sharing ideas are at the heart of what we do. At the same time, our members are part of a worldwide LEGO® fan community with friends all around the globe.

Through Racoons International, we connect with builders and enthusiasts from different countries and cultures – online as well as at international events such as Skaerbaek Fan Weekend, Bricktastic in Manchester, Brickvention in Melbourne or Japan Brickfest in Kobe.

Different places, different backgrounds, one shared passion: creating, exchanging ideas and being part of a global community.

Our international „Racoons“

My name is Kevin Hyatt and I’m an AFOL from the UK. I run events and am a member of several communities. The most enjoyable part of the hobby for me is not the building with bricks but the building of friendships, relationships and community. It’s an honour to be part of RacoonBricKS and I’m looking forward to meeting other members at future shows.
I’m Nicky Schneider from Adelaide, Australia. I’ve love being a part of the wider AFOL community because I’ve been able to meet some of the best people from all over the world. I look forward to meeting others at future events.

I’m Wes Royer, and AFOL based in the UK. The Lego Community has enabled me to meet so many amazing people and I have made so many lifelong memories and many more to come being a part of this community and our shared passion of the brick.
I am William Wong from Hong Kong (you can also call me PrinceWilliam, Asian William or Crazy William). Most of my MOCs are Japanese trains or related to train category. The most valuable thing to me in the AFOL community is not just the MOCs, but also the friendships and different cultures from all over the world. Feel free to contact me or I look forward to meeting you in SFW, JBF or elsewhere very soon!
My name is Masao Hidaka, a Japanese AFOL. I love monorails, so I’m building my own monorails. I hope that many AFOLs try to build my monorails and enjoy them. I look forward to running my monorails at events outside of Japan and meeting you all.
Kia Ora, I am Jay Horne from New Zealand and I am the founder of www.jumperplate.com. I love how the LEGO brick brings so many different people from around the world where we meet new friends, catch up with old ones and simply enjoy the amazing communities and events that this colored plastic has helped glue us all together.
