BRICKLIVE NEC to host the Midlands first PAW Patrol brick models

PAW Patrol heads to the NEC


PAW Patrol fans will be able to meet their favourite characters this Autumn – as BRICKLIVE in partnership with Nick Jr. hosts the Midlands first PAW Patrol toy brick models. This amazing news follows the recent announcement of BRICKLIVE’s 5 year agreement with Nickelodeon to produce toy brick characters from Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.’s favourite hit TV shows.

The stunning spectacle, featuring 21 of your favourite characters and buildings from the hit Nick Jr. show, will be built by BRICKLIVE from brightly coloured toy bricks and placed in the PAW Patrol Zone between 31 October and 3 November. Are you all ears? Characters Chase, Marshall, Skye and the PAW Patrol gang will take centre stage amongst all the fan favourite BRICKLIVE content.

BRICKLIVE at the NEC - welcoming Nick Jr. as the official Show Partner - will be the first venue in the Midlands to host the official PAW Patrol brick models, with the pups ranging in size from 75cm to 120cm high. The models will also feature a 2m tall Lookout Tower using over 65,000 bricks; and a selfie-zone of Marshall’s Fire Truck using a whopping 160,000 bricks.

A brick-fact-finding mission related to the PAW Patrol models will be running during the 4-day event meaning families will be able to explore their favourite characters and children will be able to enter a free competition once the mission is complete.

Virginia Monaghan, Vice President (VP) Marketing, Commercial and Events, Nickelodeon UK and Northern and Eastern Europe, said: “BRICKLIVE is the perfect partner for creating a new way to celebrate our much loved characters. The scale of the models is so impressive – we can’t wait for PAW Patrol fans to meet the pups’ toy brick counterparts in Birmingham at this world famous exhibition venue, the official Midlands launch for the pups.”



BRICKLIVE in partnership with Nick Jr. will take place from 31 October – 3 November and boasts lots of new and exciting interactive zones around the incredible PAW Patrol zone. New features include BRICKLIVE Ocean, RC Off-road racers, Master Builder workshop and Marble hills to name but a few.

Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand to Premiere 'The Bureau of Magical Things' on Monday 2nd September 2019

NICKELODEON AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ADDS MAGIC & MYSTERY TO LINEUP WITH “THE BUREAU OF MAGICAL THINGS” PREMIERING 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019


Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand will debut the enchanting new live-action series The Bureau of Magical Things, created by Australian television producer Jonathan M. Shiff (H2O: Just Add Water), on Monday 2nd September 2019 at 7:30pm (NZ time; AU time TBC)! Following launch, new episodes of The Bureau of Magical Things will continue to air Mondays to Thursdays in its regular timeslot of 7:30pm (NZ time; AU time TBC).

Filmed in Brisbane and the Gold Coast of Australia, The Bureau of Magical Things combines magic, mystery, and a unique mythology to tell the story of Kyra, an ordinary teenage girl who is caught in a clash between an elf and a fairy then becomes magically transformed. As a “Tri-ling”—part human, part fairy, and part elf—Kyra teams with a group of magical teenagers and learns to use her newfound powers to keep the human (insan) world safe from the surprising, funny, and sometimes dangerous effects of magical chaos. But when these young guardians uncover a threat, humans, fairies, and elves must unite to save both their worlds!

The series stars Kimie Tsukakoshi (The Family Law) as Kyra, a confident teenage Tri-ling who exhibits powers of both fairies (Peri) and elves; Mia Milnes as Lily, an optimistic and sweet fairy; Elizabeth Cullen as Imogen, a headstrong and ambitious elf; Julian Cullen as Darra, Imogen’s charming hipster elf brother; Rainbow Wedell (Terra Nova) as Ruksy, an orderly fairy and teacher’s pet; Jamie Carter (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) as Peter, Kyra’s longtime classmate and science fiction lover; Christopher Sommers (Hunters) as Professor Maxwell, a witty half-elf-half-human in charge of the local Magic School; Melanie Zanetti (The Leisure Class) as Orla, an elf agent working for the Department of Magical Intervention (DMI); and Nicholas Bell (I, Frankenstein) as Sean, director of the DMI and Lily’s father.


In the first half-hour launch episode, “A Magical Mishap,” ordinary teenager Kyra gets zapped when she touches a book that is the subject of a magical tug‐of‐war between a fairy, Lily, and an elf, Imogen. When Kyra wakes the next day, she can see and perform magic as a newfound Tri‐ling – part‐human, part‐fairy and part‐elf.

Nickelodeon has acquired the global rights to The Bureau of Magical Things (20x30'). The series made its Nickelodeon debut on Nick USA on Monday 8th October 2018, followed by its debut on Nickelodeon in the UK and Ireland on Monday 5th November 2018, and is currently rolling out globally across Nickelodeon's channels and branded blocks in 170+ countries and territories.

The Bureau of Magical Things introduces a captivating fantasy world while promoting real world concepts like individuality, diversity and acceptance,” says Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships for Nickelodeon. “We think kids everywhere will find something relatable in these characters’ journeys to finding their true selves, while learning to embrace and accept what makes them different.”


Season one of The Bureau of Magical Things is produced by Jonathan M. Shiff Productions, financed with the support of Screen Australia, the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland and the City of Gold Coast and will be globally distributed by ZDF Enterprises. The show was originally broadcast in Australia on Channel Eleven. A second season is currently in development.
