Summary
On Episode 17 of Tales From The Brick, Jon (8 Bit Bricks) is joined by Chris Giddens aka Fazoom, one of the original AFOL pioneers. Chris is the co-creator of Old Grey Bricks and a LEGO Factory designer. He joins Jon for a deep dive into the early days of the LEGO fan community.
Chris shares what it was like building in an era before social media, helping shape one of the first online LEGO communities, and eventually designing official sets during the experimental LEGO Factory program, offering a rare look at a unique chapter in LEGO history.
The conversation also takes a powerful turn as Chris opens up about his battle with cancer and how LEGO became more than just a hobby - it became a source of focus, therapy, and resilience during one of the most challenging times of his life.
