I attended BrickFair for the second time a couple weeks ago, the first having been back in 2015. One of the things I remember most from that year was the heat and humidity. This time, believe it or not, east coast August weather was a welcome relief after spending June and July in the south of France.

I was extremely limited in luggage space, but picked up these goodies from the vendors:

And acquired these Kraata prototypes from a BZP member in a trade we planned in advance:

To my knowledge this is one of only two complete sets of these. Said member will be receiving my prototype Strakk helmet in return. I've had it in my collection since 2009 so it was tough to let it go, but I'm glad another collector will get the chance to enjoy it.
