Hey guys, I'll be there are couple days this weekend. Excited to buy some Brickmania sets in person and possibly some other sets! Anyone else coming? I'd love to have a little Brickpicker get together with Rich B and some of us other locals! Respond on here if you are or are trying to come! 

 

 

Wow this is one of the only forum topics I've ever seen thats gotten no responses and I started it =(....

 

someone? anyone? 

 

Or does no one on here come to events like these. I'd assumed some of you large resellers would be here..

I would love to go but I don't live near enough to Virginia. You have a link or anything? What exactly is it?

I will be attending. I live pretty close to the location. It will be great to see all the Mocs and have a chance to buy minifigures,sets, and pieces. Do you know if they will let you exchange a set for product or cash? If so, that would be great.

Oh oops sorry http://www.brickfair.com/

 

Largest Lego event in the world..

 

Awesome! I've gone for quite a few years now

It is a place to see cool Mocs and to buy lego. Individual vendors can sell sets, minifigures, or even custom items. It is great!

I meant if they allow you exchange a set for what they are selling. It would be a trade.

wait....the 1st to the 4th?

 

i thought it started on the 3rd??

 

what is august 1-2?

Hmm, may have to plan a  trip for next year.

Auguest 1st and 2nd are vendor and people who have displays only days. Kinda set up and just browse around and have fun! I don't know if i'd want to carry sets in there if I were you mtmsix... long line often. Are both of you coming? beeblet you too? which days?

i will be there the 3rd

 

i would love to see the set up of the large displays, and see whats for sale. ive been saving for the show, hopefully i can get something cool!

I think I'll be there the fourth this year sadly. 

ah, oh no - maybe ill come back on the 4th - depends how it goes on the 3rd

I was supposed to go but unfortunately I won't be able to make it! Maybe next year.

Rich B, myself and two other Brickpickers will be there Sunday!! so you should totally come back again

I love this event. It's great having an opportunity to buy sets pieces, and minifigures. I don't buy minifigures of bricklink, eBay, etc, therefore this is how I can build a small army , or get some figures from sets I don't particularly like, and sometimes buying a set with no figures. And the Mocs, oh, I love them. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Military, towns, great ball contraptions, sculptures, and things young children make. It's all great. And even better, they sell food at a food court. You can even win sets from playing bingo or a raffle. I can't wait! Sadly, I only saved up 60 dollars. Guess its time to dig into my personal savings.

I think I'm going to be there on the third.  I've been there three times earlier, and it was a blast.  Wish I could come on Sunday, though.

I am getting really excited for Brickfair! Only the rest of today, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and a couple of hours Saturday. I can't wait!

I would soooooo be there but I am leaving the 1st for vacation.

i might be going i live really close but dont know if my family has other plans. if i can get this moc done i will definitely go though

There are two Lego stores about ten minutes from the expo center: one in Patomic Mills mall and the other in Tyson's Corner mall.  The Tyson's Corner location has a better PAB wall.  The Patomic Mills location only has regular bricks on the PAB wall.

Any reports or pics from day 1?

 

I'm curious how busy it was.  I'm trying to go tomorrow.

It was fairly busy from what I've heard. I'm going tomorrow morning with at least three other Brickpickers so far if you'd care to meet up! Message me if you'd like! 

 

That goes for everyone! It would be fun to have a little Brickpicker get together. From meeting Rich B I can tell you some of the other people on here can be quite cool and awesome!

I'd love to meet up with others . . . unfortunately I'll have 3 kids and my wife with me.  I'm going to make the best of it though.
