stella2015 Posted March 28, 2017 Hey guys, whats the best lego event in the us? We have been to Brickfair in Virigina and that was amazing. is that the best one? Seeing all the mocs was insane. Castle stuff for us, is our favorite by far and away., Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryushi Posted March 28, 2017 Brickfair I believe is the largest in terms of square footage. Brickworld Chicago has the highest quality of mocs. BrickCon has the most fun other events. I would recommend going to all three and comparing yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stash2Sixx Posted March 31, 2017 Honestly, go to a few different ones, as many people are biased in different ways. If you are a castle fan, be sure to get to Brickcon. I went in 2008 and it was great. Sci-Fi and Castle heavy at BrickCon, where the other shows have different concentrations of builders. It all varies. Plus you get to meet a ton of other people/builders/EB members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GallardoLU Posted March 31, 2017 also if you have kids in the age 6 - 12~ish range the Lego Kidsfest events are actually pretty cool, went to one in Cleveland years ago. for adults only there really is very little to do, shop in the mobile Lego store, and maybe try out the kid centric hands on things. for kids though, almost the entire event is hands on, a giant Lego pile to build in, car build stations with ramps to test them on, Monochromatic build stations. and some guided build events possibly with a "Master builder." I've also done brickfair VA, and Brickworld Chicago, and for me I prefer VA, but it's a longer trip so I've not gone in recent years (hoping to be able to go this year though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickworldBryan Posted May 8, 2017 Note: There may be bias in my comments as I run Brickworld.... Each event has its own personality. There will always be one event that is more fun for you based on your personal preferences and how you live your life. As was stated above, do your best to try out different conventions. Eventually, you will land on the one that you like the best...and that is all that really matters. It is not a competition for us as event runners to be the right event for everyone. There definitely are differences and similarities between all events. The three listed here (BF VA, BW Ch, and BC) are widely considered the big three. But, other events can be fun too. Personally, I try to get to one or two other cons a year just so I can have fun at an event. So, I find other events fun. Each is fun for its own reasons. The most important thing is to make friends wherever you go. This is such an incredible community to be a part of that I don't know what I would do without it!
