Godtshep Posted January 11, 2015 Sounds fantastic! However as it's being held after half term I wonder if it will be possible to come either just for the weekend with the family or possibly just a day at Legoland Windsor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Kyle Posted January 12, 2015 Awesome, I've been waiting for this to start :) We'll be there one way or the other - I don't know if we'll book the hotel, but we'll definitely be around for a day at least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robianco Posted January 12, 2015 Same here. Although I live in the UK I've never been to Legoland Windsor... a full 4 days stay would be a bit much for me but I'd love to come down for a day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Kyle Posted January 12, 2015 Just checked back with the other half - we probably won't be able to afford the hotel, so we'll sleep at home and be around during the days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cwetqo Posted January 12, 2015 Hotel price is a liitle bit high, but it looks like a very nice place so it could be justified. However, I do have other "problem", which will most likely prevent me from coming, but if all checks out, there will be two additional junior eurobrickers coming to next years event :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted January 12, 2015 lol I could drive the 200+ miles there and back everyday and still pay less than the hotel room for one night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heppeng Posted January 12, 2015 Never been to one of these events before, whats the program? What is there to see/do? Anyone want to give me a run through so to speak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolli Posted January 12, 2015 I think there is 1 free day of Legoland Windsor for Merlin pass holders from other Legolands if I'm not mistaken. Maybe we can take this into account for the schedule. Then again I don't know how many of us would actually be eligible for this (I have a Merlin pass from Legoland Germany). Also I will be able to take care of the usual clothing line that Dfenz was taking care of the last years (he is very unlikely to come). More on this later though.

Peppermint_M Posted January 13, 2015 Also people who are UK based! Keep an eye out for Merlin 2 for 1 tokens on packaging, I think some cereal brands had them and possibly some other boxed groceries. They last to the end of June, It means two adults will have half price tickets with each token, as it is one free entry with a full-price ticket. Anyone without an annual pass can pair up and pay half each for the ticket you need to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legogal Posted January 14, 2015 Hotel price is a liitle bit high, but it looks like a very nice place so it could be justified. However, I do have other "problem", which will most likely prevent me from coming, but if all checks out, there will be two additional junior eurobrickers coming to next years event :) OMG! Congratulations, MAN! So it is twins for sure? Wow! They should be in good company in a couple of years with BabyEBers popping out all over! Make sure you get some peace and quiet time and sleep before they arrive because it will be difficult for the next 12 years or so! But sooooooo much FUN, and you will have to buy even more Duplo and LEGO for them as well. I am watching my five month old granddaughter most weekday mornings and love it. A bit difficult to answer business calls when she is screaming her brains out, so I just walk in the next room, close the door, and let her scream a bit. She is chewing on everything with teeth about to erupt, so it definitely is too early for Duplo. But there is a box of chewed up Duplo awaiting her when she turns one! I am hoping that she starts building with LEGO at three like her father did. Again congratulations to you and your wife....WOW! And WHOOPIE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Kyle Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks for the 2 for 1 info, Pep! We used one of those last time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heppeng Posted January 15, 2015 So what is there in the way of displays? Does anyone have a link to pictures of previous events? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 15, 2015 So what is there in the way of displays? Does anyone have a link to pictures of previous events? Sadly I don't think it is that kind of meet up,but more of a drag around some shops and a visit to a Lego park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calanon Posted January 15, 2015 So what is there in the way of displays? Does anyone have a link to pictures of previous events? Event index and last year's picture thread. There are no displays - it is a very fun meet-up though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eiker86 Posted January 15, 2015 Wish I could come, but we are moving facilities at work in June so we got a no vacation month then :( I'll wait for next year then =) Have a good time over in the UK =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etzel Posted January 18, 2015 Ah, sadly I don't think I will be able to make it this year. Which is a shame since it was such a great event last time in Windsor! I recommend everyone who has the opportunity to join! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanetVanD Posted January 18, 2015 We really wanted to go, as it would be our first Eurobricks event to attend and we live close enough to England but the price of the hotel is so high it makes the trip impossible. People have told me that if you stay somewhere other than the designated hotel, you miss out on a lot of the social activities, which kind of defeats the purpose of going.

Scubacarrot Posted January 18, 2015 I also can't make it this time. Maybe next year. Be sure to take lots of pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
