We spent this early afternoon at BrickCon. It’s hard, really, to imagine the scale of this event. 100s of exhibitors, 1000s of attendees. Swarms of people. As much as I delight in the creations, it’s also a bit exhausting to meander and jostle with so many people. I enjoyed myself, but after an hour and a half, we were ready for lunch at the Armory and a nap. I could hear the grand food at Skillet calling my name. Always a happy thing.
Below are a few photos from the day. I hope you enjoy!
It’s always a delight to see the kids excited for building and creating
The Space Need is one of my favorites
A mash-up of the Washington State Ferry with Spiderman Homecoming.
And the Smith Tower is excellent
I delight in this structure.
Trying to capture the scale of the crowd
An amazing number of people
This Millenium Falcon was amazing
Sure, this is about Legos, but it’s also about the people. These hats are epic.
I grew up in the last real age of drive-ins. Ah, the memories
I’m not sure the reference to this one. I thought it was Star Gate, but I’m sure. It was stunning, though.
Another view of this set. If you know what they’re referencing, please let me know.
I adored the detail in this project
This ship was brilliant. Try as I might, I just couldn’t get a good shot of it.
The back half of this ship.
Artoo had a bad day. Apparently, he got bumped by a youngling. With a little love, he’ll be back next year.
