Brick Museum, Day One


Roa McToa

284 views

Hello all! Brickfair was fun, and I had a really good time for the most part. Now that the convention is over, my posse drove back to chicago, but we made a stop at the Ohio toy and plastic brick museum in Bellaire. They are hosting a public build at the end of the week, and I was asked if I could build a special model for the museum. My plane was due to leave today, but the curator of the museum was willing to pay for the cost to change my plane ticket. Soooo, I accepted.

 

Getting the opportunity to build from the worlds largest privately owned Lego collection was too great to pass up. I am going to build a custom "non-TOTstoryline" version of a giant rahi with a Suvika rider. I started building around 3:00, and I am almost finished with the rahi's head. The absolute plethora of parts is absolutely mindboggling! :o

 

I will take pictures during the course of the week, and I will be sure to post a video of the museums Lego robot rock band from FAO Schwarz. It is SO AWESOME that it's too awesome! I got to see the models up close, and yes, they are people sized robots! :o They house some really neat models, as well as a world record size mosaic. Tis rather awesome!

 

This is going to be loads of fun, and I may be able to snag some really rare lego products and prototype stuff for use on BZPower as prize fodder. And when I say rare, I MEAN IT! This stuff doesn't exist anywhere else.

 

I will keep you all posted!

I am being put up in a hotel for the duration of the week. It sounds like I will also be putting my brickfair mocs on display as well. I'll get to build a full on diorama for the mocs too.

 

And if I get these rare prize goods, I would hope that I can give them away for contests I hope to be able to run. Future ones wont be at all like my first, as I didn't have internet access for that one..... :/

 

It was cool meeting you at Brickfair CF, and thanks again for those zamors. I want to use them in a moc. :)
