I don’t see any thread yet for BFVA 2018, so since the topic has come up, I will not be able to attend this year. Family plans have intervened and must take precedence. So I will re-channel my BFVA energies into as many of our other LUG displays as possible.
There are new and exciting MOC’s there every year, however I’m not sure I’ll even go to see it this year.
April 6, 2018 at 11:14 am #26649TimModeratorI hate to miss it. I feel it is still the best AFOL Convention, although there are now many good ones.
April 9, 2018 at 6:44 pm #26690Micah BeidemanParticipantI’ll be at BFVA. Still haven’t decided what this year’s collab will be though. It’s gonna be tough to top the babies, but we’ll try…
April 10, 2018 at 1:57 pm #26698Benjamin C GoodParticipantI plan to be there. I expect to talk to Rachel into it again. I expect it’ll be another GBC year for me.
June 20, 2018 at 3:28 pm #27664Greg SchubertParticipantIs anyone considering BrickFair Virginia, as a day trip or a single overnight, rather than as an attendee?

Saw this today and although it’s not at Scala baby level, you may be able to do something fun with it 🙂

Are these a new Incredibles superhero and the oversized Jack-Jack?

I am trying to convince Amy this would be a great family trip for the weekend.
July 4, 2018 at 1:54 pm #27796Greg SchubertParticipantEach Brickfair registrant gets an extra ticket for a guest o attend one of the days for the general public. If you cannot get one from a friend, it might be helpful to know that Todd just started advanced ticket sales today:

I have seen the line that wraps around the building and am glad that, as a presenter, I did not have to wait in it. Especially when a thunderstorm, which is typical for that time of year, rolls through.

you wanna drive me?
July 7, 2018 at 5:48 am #27847Greg SchubertParticipantyou wanna drive me?
Maybe, I’m still somewhat ambivalent about going.
July 7, 2018 at 10:50 am #27853ToddParticipantIf anyone needs tickets to BrickFair please let me know I will have extra tickets.

…and what’s going on with that photo, @hannah133?
I’m probably not going. But we’ll see.

now we’re scheduled for a college visit that weekend, so I’m out for BFVA ’18

turns out the arm holes of a normal minifig are the same size as those on a lego flashlight minifig which can lead to some interesting mashups lol
August 4, 2018 at 9:27 pm #28183Greg SchubertParticipantTomorrow (Sunday Aug 5) is the last day of Brickfair VA. No word from @bengood921 or @hacim? I am somewhat road weary, but back in the ‘burgh. Is anyone planning a day trip to Chantilly? https://10times.com/brickfair-va
August 5, 2018 at 1:02 am #28184Micah BeidemanParticipantBrick fair has been awesome so far. But I need to sleep…
August 5, 2018 at 9:58 am #28185Matt RedfieldKeymasterLulz @Hacim. #justgotobed
August 5, 2018 at 12:08 pm #28186Greg SchubertParticipant@tfdesigns, here is a photo I took at Brickfair exactly one year ago; knew you’d appreciate it 🙂

August 11, 2018 at 5:43 pm #28218Benjamin C GoodParticipantBrickFair was fun as usual. Frost and his family showed up during public hours on Sunday, so I got to talk to them for awhile while I helped man the GBC table. I saw Rick and Micah there but I did not run into them as often as I would normally expect at these things. We didn’t go to Otani’s this year.
I am not claiming any cup credits for this one. I did not take my Lackeys or a working GBC, so my only contributions were the BWC18 GBC event kit and the BFVA18 GBC event kit.
The MOCs on display at this one were pretty typical of what you see at these events, so if you’ve been to BrickFair before, you didn’t really miss anything unusual by not being at this one. Hanlon & Hanlon were there, so there will be the usual GBC video at some point and I think there should be a full tour as well.
August 11, 2018 at 6:11 pm #28221Benjamin C GoodParticipantAlso, unlike with BWC, there’s a lot of photos of this event on Flickr, for anybody who wants to see what they missed. Dae posted more than 2500 pics and Al posted more than 1600 (I don’t know why these are showing up in the post the way they are, they’re all links to albums, not photos):

Ben… Cmon. There was a whole Galidor display! And the actor from the Galidor TV show was there and doing signings!
If you don’t call that missing out, I don’t know what is…August 11, 2018 at 10:51 pm #28229Micah BeidemanParticipantI mainly displayed 4 mocs this year. Nothing super impressive by my standards, but they still got some good attention (one of them was a Galidor moc for the display mentioned in my above comment). Beyond that I had the ship I had at BW, a modified version of my sci-fi city, and a new moc featuring Turtle Unicorns walking through a magical forest 😉
August 12, 2018 at 5:48 am #28230Greg SchubertParticipantBen, thanks for the pictures, its a good variety. That guy who made the Tick really should have restricted himself to the head and shoulders.
