No, not really. What I do like more than winning free LEGO, is hanging out with other displayers. The reason I liked BFVA better wasn’t cause of the displays, but the displayers. There were just so many more cool people to meet and talk to!
Fair enough; having not made it to BFVA yet, I can only imagine.
BFVA is definitely much larger than PBF so there are a lot more displayers. I’ve been going to BFVA on and off since 2002 and have met lots of great AFOLs there. PBF is off to a great start and I think will eventually be on par with BFVA (in some respects, it is better) overall. Each has its own vibe, which is great.
If only I didn’t have this pesky job which limits my vacation days, I could attend ALL THE CONS!
