A basic introduction to the world of AFOLs. Not much news if you're a fan but the sheer amount of Lego the guy featured in it has is scary. Good to see he's a fan of the Kingdom's Joust too!

I hadn't seen this video before. But it was cool. I love watching stuff like this. I could view it for hours.

Sydney show is on the ANZAC Day long weekend this year and Adelaide's is May 17 & 18. Adelaide's event will actually be the largest LEGO Fan event to be held in Adelaide for over 13 years.

Yes, Melbourne and Canberra have a head start on us, but Sydney only kicked off last year.

We'll catch up.........for South Australia !

I would agree with that.....maybe half a million to a million more like it.
