Hmm… if my calculations are correct, our best bet is to do several small layouts at $50 a pop. No minimum specified… or, shoot for just over 100 – once you get over 100 sq ft, your returns diminish for all additional effort until you quintuple the size. ( $100 / 101 sq ft = $0.99 / sq ft, but $100 / 499 sq ft = $0.20 / sq ft)
100+ square feet seems right but that is a decent amount of space to cover. We probably covered at least that much at Kidsfest, although not every square inch was covered in Lego. While the payoff is not great ($100 for the entire weekend? sheesh) at least compared to Kidsfest, I’m up for this. Something is better than nothing, and I’ll display for nothing (money-wise) so I am in.
Is the idea of a winter/Christmas village still viable or would we want to do a more traditional Town & Train display (since it is a Train show)? Or something else? It would be great to find a way to merge everyone’s specialty, including Paul’s awesome cars (perhaps the North Pole has a sweet luxury car dealership!).
