BrickWorld 09

[jirue]

I just got back from BrickWorld 2009! :D

It was in (actually just right outside of) Chicago in the Westin hotel, if you've heard of that.  So anyway, it was great.  Brickworld, if you don't know, is just a big Lego convention.  It goes until the end of tomorrow, but we wanted to just stay at the hotel it's hosted at, which is a 4 star hotel, so we just couldn't afford all those nights, Sat and Sun were the public days anyway, just a bunch of noisy kids about to break something.

you walk in and the first thing you see is a replica of the Westin made out of Lego.  Everyone was wearing these cool name tags made out of lego that had your name engraved on them with a magnit, but we didn't register before hand enough, so it said "Registering on line is no longer available, you may still register at the door yatata"

All the builds were epic!  Some of them didn't even look like lego they were so detailed.

I meet the guy who animates some videos for Lego's new Space Police (This video).  I also meet one of the guys down at Creator makin stuff.  I got both of their autographs :3

There were booths set up from Brick Forge, BrickArms, and a whole crap load of other vendors.  I finally got my crowbar and Master Chief figs from BrickForge, and I got a crap load of neat weps to put on my Chief and half life figs. 

My mom took pics of like everything with her broken camera, you just can't see what you are taking a pic of, so hopefully they are good, I will post some when I get them.


Did anyone else go to this?  That'd be really funny ;3

Epic

[jirue]

Some guy made a big Jurassic Park replica, that was epic, he used Life Lights in the broken fence, so it looked like sparks, and he had fire on the gates that lit up all cool, and if you looked closely in the back of his big building, the Kool Aid man was breaking through the wall 

Someone else had a big Indiana Jones set up, that was a lot more intracit, had all of the scenes from the movie, big scenes at least.  he had sets that came in Lego Sets, but he didn't use the sets, he made it himself, hardcore, bro.

Someone else had a big Foot Ball stadium, the roof moved and all.

Everything was cool, my mom got pics of all of it (i hope her pic taking skills without being able to see what you are taking a pic of is good).

I was looking through a gallery on brickshelf and their trains all look awesome.
How much money do you think all those legos are worth
