DRAFT: We will be drafting set # 11011. It is available online at Amazon or Walmart (most likely others but I’m not bothering to look them up).
If you want to participate in the draft – please bring an unopened set of # 11011.

What is a draft?

A LEGO® draft is an activity where multiple copies of a single set is divided between participants. Preparation includes dividing the sets into lots. This can be done in various ways, including by element and color. Generally, each mini figure is assembled and is its own lot. Then each participant is randomly assigned a rank. Each person takes a turn and chooses a lot in rank order until all lots are taken.
