Seattle's BrickCon 2009

Our little brother happened on a site that spoke of a Lego convention in Seattle, and we knew we had to attend. Tensai, myself and the family unit piled into the van and hopped on a ferry to Seattle relatively close to the Space Needle. BrickCon is not something I have visited before and was quite surprised to see a long line of people stretched out from the ticket booth half a block down the road.

Yes there was kids, and lots of them. But it was worth it to take a glimpse at the displays they had out.

For those that know our social activities you'd be very interested to see this. Look at the picture below carefully and tell me what you see..... aside from the cool space ship.

Look closer.

Holy mother what is that?

LEGO STEAMPUNK AIRSHIP!

Absolutely cool.



This reminded me of the Doctor Who holiday special.




Speaking of Doctor Who...


This depiction of a war torn city during WWII was especially detailed.


On the shores of Normandy.


There were several displays of cities.


Ambassador Spock's ship from the new Star Trek Movie.



A mad lab complete with little Igor.


This one was particularly hysterical. Its a sausage restaurant with happy customers on one side contently eating.

On the other is the sausage factory, on the conveyor belt that creates the sausages is a whole cow, dead parrot, monkey, horse... the rat though escaped with its life hiding under the ladder.

BrickCon, completely fun.

Coming soon: Information on the site where to download a free 3d Lego Creator that allows you to build whatever you want on the computer with the option to purchase your creation. I'm still scanning the site where to download.
