Brickfair As A Guest
Wasn't too bad. Probably the thing I'm missing most out on by not being the whole weekend is being able to hang with some amazing BZPower members, such as but not limited to: Omi, Roa, DV, Kohaku, B6, KIE, Magpi, Rayg, Smeag, the Rachira twins and their brother Mieko, and probably some other awesome members I can't remember the names of (sorry guys.)
The show itself was cool as usual. I could list off Lego themes, but you know them already. There was some impressive stuff there. Especially on the BBC Contest table and the Bionicle section (which was the first thing people saw even before they paid to get in.) About half the Bionicle stuff was Roa's, but the other half was from everybody else and was very impressive. We've got some great MOCist out there! (Arpy, I was dissapointed to see the selection of MOCs you chose to send. What we really wanted was the best of the best, and I was wondering why your stuff was so...basic. (Though the Nui Rama was sweet!) Sorry to put it bluntly, it's midnight.)
Crustaceous and my Bionicle Chess Set were/are on display.
The Brick Bazaar was cool. I got a bunch of Star Wars round tiles, various minifig accessories, and a frog so I can finially make some frogspace! I also got Battle Arachnoid for $7 (I probably should have tried for $6) only to find out later that the Lego Outlet I was at was selling it for $4. Oh well. I bought a BrickFair shirt and copper pin too. We later went to my local Lego store and I got the Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase set. Then at the Lego Outlet I bought the Lego Star Wars shirt I had wanted for so long: Vader's TIE chasing Luke's X-wing.
So I think I'm done with my Lego buying for now. I need to save up for here on campus. I might get the $10 Storm Trooper set if it is available, but I've decided to put Takanuva on my Christmas list.
Oh, QotD's are going to be sporadic now. If I feel like popping my flash drive into one of these school computers, then you may get a quote. Other than that, it's midnight and I don't feel like the extra work. If only my laptop was working....
