So my flight gets in at 17:40 on the Wednesday. A little later than usual, which i am happy to trade getting up at the crack or pre-dawn, and also rushing though the airport to my connection!

Do we still have rules about flaming I like the plastic/vinyl sails and wings more than fabric, they are a little better to pose. Brick built can get too heavy for certain creations I want to achieve.

Hopefully adding the image helps.

Of course

So one of the most complicated parts of my journey (Getting to Cardiff Airport) has been solved. My lovely friend said she can take me regardless of times so I can easily get there now

I certainly plan on attending next year and displaying. This year was a lot of fun and apart from the absolute plague I seem to have caught up there (or on the train home) everything went well.

I probably have to look at if there are any new rules for little ol' me coming into the EU from outside. That is a task for after my trip to Manchester next week.

I am coming and need a place to stay.

Signing up!

Yes, I spotted those when I went on a snacks'n'beer run during Brickworld Chicago last year. The flower designs look a lot like some that Block Tech brand releases here in the UK. The boxes are re-coloured according to how they are being marketed (I saw them in sky blue boxes for Mother's day and currently Pink for Valentine's day). The MTV branded stuff hasn't appeared yet, not even as generic builds without the IP.

Hurrah! It has been too long.

Just out of curiosity, I am going to this event. Is anyone else from EB attending (I know of one or two). This will be my first convention in the UK, having only gone to Brickworld Chicago. Yes, I live in Wales, but my most attended con is in the USA... So, asking if anyone is going so I can say Hi!

Considering that Hot Wheels and Barbie Mega sets already exist, I am wondering if this new brand might be a way to create distance from the "Megablocks are cheap LEGO knockoffs" by making something that can immediately be positioned as Premium Product without the baggage of MEGA printed on the boxes/bricks. I have personally enjoyed building the different Hot Wheels sets, on two scale points and the diecast based Blok Cars. With no real issues with quailty. However, I could see this new brand taking some of the popular IP and licences they have to market to those TLG are targeting with Icons and other "black box" sets. Maybe adding their own lines of Adult Market items that are generic enough TLG can't object. Even the teaser poster looks something of a match to Icons, with the black background. Something I will keep an eye out for.

Once you get to 10 posts, give it another go. I can't remember exactly what is shut off for an account that is brand new, but it is likely a spam prevention feature. A reply to me, is one more post

Oh dear. That is sad to hear. I hope the family know what a huge and positive impact he had on the online LEGO community. It is too bad there is probably no interested parties to keep it online. I know many threads of the past will lose images (many of my own included).
