Canberra Brick Expo 2010

Hi All,

As i am quite new to all of this... and only just found out about the event today i am wondering if there is a similar event for sydney lego fans or is this the closest lego action we are going to get this year?

Cheers HRTTIM

Well it's only a few hours down the highway. There are a number of Sydney siders bringing MOCs.
So how did you hear about it?

im a regular reader on euro bricks and found my way over here as i have been looking for other aussies into lego for a while and then found out that brick expo is on this week (great timing) so i guess i will have to come and sus out what its all about

Well I can't speak for everyone but for me it's two words......train crashes

That's exactly what it's all about! Looking forward to it.

HRTTIM,

SydLUG is bringing down a fair amount of stuff, make sure to say hi. We are probably going to have some stuff at Newcastle in a few weeks too and AMRA later in the year, but definitely make an effort to get to Brickexpo.

Cheers

I just want to say thank you to all the organizers and exhibitors of the BrickExpo! It was a great event!

I was in the queue for over an hour to get in!!! And it was well worth the wait!

only 2 so far???
Cmon more more more, that big galley looked great

They're coming, editing photos for Flickr upload tonight

YAY
I remember fondly the lego displays they use to have in Myer Stores, that was a day out with my dad that I looked forward to every year, seeing cool sets and of course the present at the end
The new displays and MOCs that people do these days are just something else all together, will have to try make it down there one yr I think

well i made the trip down with the mrs from sydney and made it thankfully before the line got that big

was very good to see the event unfortunately didnt get to meet some of you due to the number of ppl in the room but the displays were top quality and we are both looking forward to the next event

I've put a few photos up on Flickr under my account, plus in the BrickExpo 2010 group. I only took photos of SydLUG stuff at the end of the show when it was actually possible to get some clear shots. There were SO MANY PEOPLE!!

My thanks go to the organisers for getting it all together and letting us bring stuff down from Sydney. We're already talking about 2011

I have video of the whole show and it will go on youtube under the SydLUG account after it is edited (may be a few days...)

Hi guys!! I was there and bumped into Intrastella and Cat'n Zuloo (nice to meet you two!). I'll have some pics up in a couple of days. I was in the line for forty minutes, just a small wait!! Fantastic show, I'll try and get along to some more.

Guys, I have put some pics up of the show. FYI I built the fort in the pirate display.

Awesome stuff
I love that you dont have the displays behind barricades and that the kids can get right up close, perfect way to inspire the next gen of little lego builders

Fantastic photos. I wish mine had come out that clear.
With the high volume of children in front of the display the TGV train train on quite a few occasions would sneak out assisted by little hands

Also the perfect way to stress me out. There is a path of neurons in my brain that is now permanently wired as "Please don't touch". Luckily no one had to meet my "Finger Scissors".

Intrastella

I uploaded the local news coverage in case you missed it.

I also put some photo's in the BrickExpo Flicker Group

Thanks to all the exhibitors who made this such a great day.
It's a pity it didn't get quiet enough to meet and greet more. Next year we will have to make it 2 days.

I put my video up under the youtube SydLUG account:
