Aloha and welcome to the Hawaii LEGO® Users Group website. As a club, we are a group of LEGO® builders, collectors and fans dedicated to spreading the joy of plastic brick building in Hawaii and further afield. From novice to expert, our club is made up of a diverse group of people that come together to create and attend events to share our love of LEGO® with each other and the public. We are always looking for like-minded people that enjoy LEGO® as much as we do. We accept members from 1st grade through senior citizens. If you love LEGO® and would like to receive periodic news, are interested in joining our group or would like more information please email us at HAWAIILUG@GMAIL.COM and we will be in touch with you. Mahalo!

HILUG Membership
Membership is defined by being active in our community events and/or LUG meetings. Individuals who attend LUG meetings, provide/share MOCs, volunteer their time, or otherwise materially contribute to our events are considered members.
HILUG Code of Conduct
1. Purpose & Core Values
Our mission is to foster a welcoming, creative, and inclusive environment for LEGO fans of all ages and skill levels. We align our community with the core values of The LEGO Group: imagination, creativity, fun, learning, caring, and quality.
2. General Conduct & Inclusivity
• Build Kindness: Support, inspire, and elevate fellow members. Keep feedback on custom builds constructive and encouraging.
• Respect Boundaries: Personal attacks, rudeness, and disparaging remarks will not be tolerated. Focus on the bricks and the ideas, never the person.
• Zero Harassment: We provide a harassment-free space regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, or background.
• Family-Friendly Focus: Our group interacts heavily with the public and children. All conversations, digital posts, and custom creations (MOCs) must remain family-friendly. Avoid explicitly violent, political, or mature themes.
3. Public Shows & Event Etiquette
• Respect the Build: Never touch another member’s LEGO models or layout sections without their explicit, prior permission.
• Professional Presence: When representing the club at public events, wear appropriate LUG attire, respect event coordinators, and interact politely with attendees.
• Photo Courtesy: Do not photograph or post close-up images of another member’s creation online if they have requested it remain private. Always credit the builder when sharing photos of their work.
4. Brand Integrity & Fair Play
As an independent community of fans, we respect the intellectual property of The LEGO Group:
• No Leaks: Do not share, post, or discuss leaked images of unannounced sets, confidential catalogs, or prototypes within club channels.
• Descriptive Naming: Our club name and logos must not imply official LEGO ownership or endorsement. Use “LEGO®” only as a descriptive modifier (e.g., “An independent LEGO users group”).
5. Digital & Online Spaces
• Stay on Topic: Keep club servers, chat channels, and social media pages focused on LEGO building, community events, and hobby-related news.
• No Spam: Do not use club channels for excessive self-promotion, irrelevant external links, or spam.
• Privacy: Treat club member rosters, internal planning documents, and private discussions as strictly confidential.
6. Enforcement & Consequences
The leadership team is committed to maintaining a safe space. Violations of this Code of Conduct will be handled progressively:
1 First Offense: Verbal or written warning and removal of the offending material/behavior.
2 Second Offense: Temporary suspension from club meetings, digital channels, and public shows.
3 Third Offense: Permanent termination of club membership and removal from the roster.
Note: Leadership reserves the right to immediately expel any member for severe violations, theft, or safety threats.
