JackJonespaw Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 This year, BrickFair expanded its fingers into Alabama, Birmingham, to be specific. With many vendors selling vintage Lego sets, figs, and their own customs, plus the many amazing creations, this convention was worth the 7 dollars paid to enter. I'm going to skip all of the vendors, because it's like Bricklink being a place. I've seperated the MOCs into themes, much like the themes here on Eurobricks! Sci-Fi/Star Wars A small Battle of Hoth. Not really fantastic. I know someone on EB could do a way better one. Some small Star Wars scenes, plus a Sci-Fi military one. Again, nothing to get really excited over. A Clone Wars battle. I love the overgrowth! A great Sci-Fi robot and bug droid! One of my favorites: The Battle of Felucia, with custom clones! A nice battle scene. I don't really like the MTT on the bottom left. A strange square spacecraft, with a crew inside! What happens when a fiery alien lands on Earth, and men are sent to stop it? This epic MOC! Some more Clone Wars scenes. I'm not sure what planet this is, but it sure is awesome! A snowy cavern from the Clone Wars! The back of the cavern, with minifigs galore! A pretty simple pod. Maybe an entry in the FBTB contest? Anakin burning up...I love the lava trails! A lot of detail packed into this MOC, titled "Race Against Time". A lot of BARC speeders. I love the mountain side! Some more scenes. The nice Republic Cruiser you might have seen on FBTB. Historic This is great. I love the mixing of old and new dark grey for the side! A nice Cowboys and Indians scene! Welcome to Japan! Where Lego Pagodas reign! A nice scene that would fit right in PoP! A nice medieval MOC. Very cool castle, with a Hogwarts professor! An evil tree! A huge viking village with moving magnetic minifigs, and a circling Viking ship! Some medieval rooms. A closer look at the Cellar. I love the cheese circles! A cathedral with a beautiful waterfall! Pirates Two fantastic ships! Just glancing at the rigging of the one on the right takes my breath away! Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean! Town The Exclusive mini modular buildings set. This thing is full of great piece usage! The Alabama Power Building and the Alabama Theater! Both extremely well done! A lot of town buildings, some official sets, some not. A fantastic town display, and, like above, mixed with official sets. There were buttons to pressed that started vehicles moving and sounds playing. The right side of the display above. A 50 foot Empire State Building! Dragon Con, and a pretty sweet built dragon! A parade with a lot of Stormtroopers! A fantastically detailed house. A nice park scene. I love the flowers! Trains/Cars Some nice trains and cars. A moving train display, with around five trains! A closer looks at the spiral. Some nice Technic cars. Miscellaneous A great mosaic of Yin and Yang, using trans colors and black only! When Scottie won American Idol. I really love the arch! The National Museum of Art and the Air and Space Center...I believe. Ha! Battleship! This has some great parts in it! The Twin Towers exploding. Sorry about the sideways pic. A huge chess set! (But it's not the biggest!) A giant robot board, in which the robots move according to which pattern is on the square. The only thing better than a giant robot board is a giant robot chess board! A Gungan scene and Harry Potter owls! A very helpful chart with every single Lego color. Some nice creations. Momma-Mia! Some more random MOCs. This year, which was my first year going, had some good MOCs, and some needless ones. I hope you enjoyed looking at this. Quote
Vindicare Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Cool pictures. There's some truly great pieces there. I can't wait to go to my first event(although I don't know where or when). Quote
