Great review I notice you have the Passenger Train in the background too! Starting to build a nice collection, keep going!

Kieth Turner, How about a full review/more details of the tour? I'm sure the 99% of people who won't be able to/ can't go (including me ) would very much appreciate it! Or did they make you sign a confidentiality form?

I just noticed this while browsing the LEGO S@H US site. Has anyone attended this in previous years (apparently they have been going for 5 years or so, according to the video)? The price (~US$2000) is a little steep, but I guess they want to make it really exclusive, and only for the die-hard fans. I'm stuck in Australia, so can't really pony up the airfare let alone the entry fee, but surely someone from 'Eurobricks' is going/has gone?

I agree, it's not a 9V/PF specific problem, rather a question of physics I guess the solutions would be to: A) Slow down B) Add more carriages, but that achieves solution A C) Add some weight to the bottom of the engine/carriages (lowers the centre of gravity) D) Bank your curves (as suggested by SavaTheAggie) E) Speed up and let it fly off the track, it can be rebuilt! That's what is so awesome about LEGO!

@slopemodified - I guess it's the old adage "Any publicity is good publicity" There's a WinTV short about the Brickexpo in Canberra earlier this month http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b7rn7NkonQ

Hey Everyone Up front, I'll say I'm a LEGO® vendor from Brisbane, Australia, hope I don't get too much hate! I'm into mostly the Star Wars LEGO®, but I like to collect the more interesting UCS sets when I can. Set I am most proud of - UCS Blockade Runner (10019), bought used from Ebay, but still with original box and instructions! I also have a blog, trying to cover all the LEGO® news from an Australian perspective. store: http://www.toyboxglobal.com.au blog: http://blog.toyboxglobal.com.au Cheers!

Hey everyone, I've got an extensive interview with David Boddy (president of Brickexpo) over on my blog, http://blog.toyboxglobal.com.au if you want to check it out! Cheers
