What is a Recognized LEGO® User Group (rLUG)?
We are a community of LEGO® brick enthusiasts (AFOLs) officially recognized by The LEGO Group through the LEGO® Ambassador Network (LAN) program. Ours is a non-profit group, run entirely by volunteers, which shares and promotes a stimulating environment to support like-minded fans.
The group is open to all skill levels and welcomes adults, teenagers, and children (the latter must always be accompanied by a parent). We organize regular in-person meetings (once a month, but also via LIVE STREAMING for special events and scheduled LIVE BUILDING sessions) to discuss projects, exhibitions, news, and, of course, to snap bricks together.
We organize public and private events for our members and the general public. Furthermore, our community actively collaborates and participates in exhibitions alongside other recognized groups and LUGs within the international network, interfacing directly with The LEGO Group through our Ambassador.
OrangeTeam immediately achieved the status of Recognized LEGO® User Group (rLUG) and currently counts numerous members from all over Italy, with a strong root in Tuscany but also with active members in other regions, throughout Europe, and the United States. Energy, passion, friendship, and great creativity are the elements that define our Group: one big family united by the same passion!
Our Collaborations
We boast historical and ongoing collaborations with prestigious local and international Institutions such as the Municipality of Pisa, the University of Pisa, the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, the Scuola Normale Superiore, ISTIA (École d'ingénieurs de l'Université d'Angers, France), Internet Festival, and the Natural History Museum of Pisa.
We also have the pleasure of stably collaborating with "Lucca Crea"—the organizer of LUCCA COMICS & GAMES—since 2017, and we participated as a Special Partner in LUCCA Collezionando. Our network of solidarity and synergy also extends to prominent local organizations such as the Pro Loco of Casciana Terme, the Stella Maris Foundation, Make-A-Wish, the Pediatric Department of the Santa Chiara Hospital in Pisa, the Tana dei Goblin (Pisa), AlterEGO Fiere, Confcommercio, and many others. A special thank you goes to all the professionals who have taken our stage to make our events unique, and to the friends of the LUG who have always shown us their affection.
Our Strength: Diversity
The true strength of our group lies in the diversity and skills of its members: fans of photography, illustration, model building, robotics, cinema, and sci-fi. Thanks to this unique mix of expertise, our events stand out for the creation and presentation of original LEGO® works (MOCs) that are truly one of a kind. There is never a shortage of social gatherings and leisure time: we regularly organize social evenings and dinners where we discuss, exchange ideas, and design future LEGO® themed displays.
Each year we manage and take part in around ten national and international modeling exhibitions and events, always putting interaction with the public at the center.
Our Flagship Event: PisaBrickArt
Our main event is PisaBrickArt, which proudly crossed the milestone of its Eleventh Edition in 2025. The event attracts an average of over 5,000 visitors and hosts more than 70 exhibitors and collectors from Italy and abroad. In addition to the wonderful display area, the event stands out for its high cultural and scientific content, hosting the "ITALIAN BRICKART CONTEST" (#IBC) since 2016. Great attention is dedicated to families and children, for whom we set up specific areas with our educational, artistic, and creative workshops, always aiming to innovate and bring joy to as many children as possible.
