Great Western Lego Show 2014

Recommended Posts

Very much looking forward to it! There's just the small matter of the LEGO Fan Weekend in Denmark to get done with first, then I'll be on the plane over. Had a great time last year, expect the same this time :)

This seems a sensible place to ask this. So it seems I'm still on holiday the weekend this is on, and I get paid the Friday before, so there's little reason *not* to go, other than the minor issue of knowing nothing about Swindon.

Do any of you have a recommendation on BnB or the like that isn't too far away and too expensive I could kip at?

I'll definitely be there on Saturday again after my first visit last year! I've got my tickets booked, and I'm looking forward to spending all of my money in one go seeing you all there!

It's going to be a long day out for me (and my daughter!), but I have taken the plunge! I hope to have a good chat about exhibiting too as I am putting together a 12V railway for shows, and need some tips!

Some pictures from my visit on Saturday for those who did not manage to make it:

The amazing Victorian London, my photography skills do not do it justice!

Got to Love those minions

This guy's layout appeared to be Digitally controlled, it had sound effects and all sorts, really liked the way the trains pulled away slowly and accelerated

250,000+ bricks, 8 meters long, meter wide, meter high, just shows what can be done with an unlimited supply of bricks

A small airport, actually I really liked the minifig scale of this one, something I'd love to build one day

GWLS LOOT! by Sir Brickalot, on Flickr

Very happy with my loot, especially that 2556 Ferrari Formula One Racer: I picked it up for £25 and I love it! I consider myself very lucky as I bought the Lego Space Book (What a fantastic book!) and got it signed by Pete and Tim!

I'm very late to the party, but let me just say:

GWBS this year was great, but I think it was affected by the upcoming London event- many great vendors weren't there.

But otherwise it was excellent. We got to meet Barney Main and Pete Reid and the vegetarian hotdogs in the cafe were amazing.

Here's what I brought:

World City Mobile Police unit- Everything there minus box- £15

A few plates and tiles and stuff, two skeletons, a keychain and a bird.
