Brickvention 2009

[Aussie Ben]

Brickvention is Australia’s own LEGO convention and it’s only a few months away!

The 2009 Brickvention will be held over the Australia Day Long Weekend (January 24th to 25th) in Melbourne, Australia and promises to be an exciting event.

Following on from the success of the previous years, there will be competitions, presentations, demonstrations and lots of interesting things to see and do.

Highlights of the weekend include:

• MOC displays (including town, modular houses, train, moonbase, and space)
  
• Building competitions
  
• Dirty Brickster
  
• Dirty Buildster
  
• Build-in-a bag
  
• Timed build
  
• Brickfilms
  
• Brikwars
  
• Trade tables
  

We’re all really excited about the event and can’t wait to meet lots of other AFOLs from all over Australia and around the world.

Thank you for the enquiry.

There will certainly be LEGO for sale. If you want to sell, I believe there should be a link on the site to book a table for sales. If not, I'll get someone to put one in there.

From memory, last year a sales table (I can't remember the size) was $Aus 5 - $Aus 10...And you can have as many as you want (provided of course that you are registered for both days).

There should also be an auction of some sort (Last year we got 1 each of the Indiana Jones "classic" sets to auction: about 3 months before they were in retail stores) and probably a raffle.

Sounds like a good weekend, sadly I wont be able to make it down this year, as the family is on 1 wage. Maybe next year.

Cheers
