I’m working on arranging to go to this one, even if it’s by myself. I’m not sure Susie can take the requisite days off work. This one is attractive to me because my sister and my cousin have boys of Lego age (and now that my oldest nephew is no longer into Legos, I know there’s a limited window of opportunity) and they’ve never seen me display, and Philly is the easiest place for them to day trip to. My cousin has already purchased her Sunday morning session tix.
I would like to take my GBC since I know it fits in my car and I know people who wanna see it. I don’t know how many other GBCers will be there (we can ask the PennLUG guys) but I should be able to rig it up to feed back to itself easily enough, and I think I can make it more reliable than it was this past weekend, especially if I’m controlling the inflow. It means anybody hanging out near it though would have to be able to tolerate its incessant whirring and clicking, as well as possibly dodge the occassional Lego soccerball.
I could also consider taking my park & observation platform. The latter still needs to be rebuilt, and ideally redesigned. I also have been acquiring tree parts for expansion, as well as parts to expand the fountain. I don’t know how good it will look w/o a city/town display next to it though. So I’m interested to see what everybody else might bring. One thing I definitely noticed at BrickFair is that that kind of display doesn’t need to be big as long as it’s done well, so we don’t need to worry about covering a huge area like we did at Ligonier.
I probably would not take the white castle, I have big plans to redesign it so that it is no longer 8′ high, and instead can sit on a table and people of normal height can see into the rooms and whatnot. That will be a much more serious undertaking and I won’t be getting the castle back til 2 weeks before BrickFest.
If Dan Walker comes I might get a space monorail built by then.
But that’s just me, I’m interested in what everybody else thinks they might be able to bring, if they can come.
