Brickworld Chicago

I know it is still a bit early but just wanted to see who all was going to be attending the Chicago Brickworld event in June.

I'll try to attend the public day, but I won't be participating in the event itself.

My family is going. It would be fun to meet everyone.

I'll be there for at least Saturday. Staying at the host hotel for the night and if there is still more I want to see, I'll be there Sunday. Otherwise I'll probably hit up the LEGOLand discovery center and a LEGO store on sunday before driving home.

I'll probably go for a day, heck the deal on the westin in Chicago is good enough for me to talk the wife into making a trip up there for a weekend as long as we don't spend the entire time at Brickworld :)

momof2boys99

Are there anymore people going next weekend?

MrKevinHinkle

Present. :)

I am going on Saturday. Does anyone know if there are vendors available to the general public on Saturday or Sunday or are they only available to those attending the whole conference? I had hoped to attend the entire event but could not fit it in this year. This will be my first year attending the event.

The vendors should be available on Sat and Sun. I will be going, just not sure which day yet.

They usually do the new set reveals on Friday of Brickworld. We should be hearing an announcement today on a new set I would think. B-Wing is my guess.

^Waiting your report anxiously on the B-Wing @sidersdd. Pics would be awesome if there's any to be taken.

^ Unfortunately I'm not there this year. Wish I was, but couldn't make it this time.

Unfortunately, there is no set unveiling planned for Brickworld: Chicago this year. You'll have to stay tuned for the next announcement, coming soon. :)

The displays are amazing!!! There is so much Lego love at Brickworld. We have enjoyed everyday so far.

graphite

Yeah there are some really impressive builds here.

As a classic-space fan, the M-Tron mining base was my favorite display among all the fantastic setups at the show.

Here is a link to the pictures I took.

Hey Graphite....you took a pic of my son's creation. It is pic 220. It was the big Star Wars ship that crashed and looks like it was in a junkyard. It it too bad that I didn't get to meet you personally.....but hopefully next year.
