Brickfair 2010

[hatter23]

Last weekend I went to the lego convention in Dulles Virgina with Erin. She participated for the first time.

The weekend didn't exactly start well as we got near the convention on Thursday, the sky opened up with a downpour that reduced visibility to about 12 feet....not great when looking for road signs in the capricious Virginia highway system.

Do you know if those mushrooms are an official part, and if so, what set they came in? I can't find them on bricklink.com. Also, I don't think Modulex counts as a "knockoff", as it was an official Lego product. Are there any other pictures of the "Storytime" MOC?

Doesn't seem like an official piece...

First, didn't know Modulex was made by lego, my bad.

You can see more pictures of Storytime in the blog of Satinglimmer, the maker

The Mushroom is a Brickforge piece. A company that makes Lego compatable items out of melted down lego.

The mushrooms are awesome, aren't they? They are on my "wishlist" as far as "cool things Lego should make." But until they make 'em, I'm going to cheat and use BrickForge.

Since you expressed interest, here are a few more "detailed" pics of my Storytime MOC. I'm a first-timer, so please excuse the lameness haha.

Thanks for the pictures, they're fantastic.

Even with the loss of the blurry ones, it took restraint to keep it to 50.

Thanks for the pictures - it's always great to be able to see some impressions from an event like this that you (couldn't|didn't) attend yourself!

AFAIK it is the largest one in the US; with 700 plus exibitors, and 19000 visitors.

Nice pics! Good stuff!
I'm hoping to attend BrickCon up in Seattle this October.
It would be my first Lego con.
