Welcome Danfourth (see what I did there?)
I both see it and commend it.
That settles it. That shall be my name here from now on, so say we all.
Dan as in the one who attended the Penn LUG meeting with your Duplo GBC?
One and the same. I don’t really call it a GBC (there’s nothing motorized in it), but I’ve been pushing the DUPLO Ball Run since last November and it’s getting traction (my display based around it at National Maker Faire last weekend took home two ribbons).
It’s very family friendly. I’ve exhibited MOCs at BrickUniverse events in Dallas and Raleigh. The public days offer considerably more themed play areas than other events – instead of just one or two “Stay and Play” type areas, there have separate ones for “Friends”, “Star Wars”, and “Architecture”, as well as the monochrome sort you see at Kids Fest events and the common DUPLO play area. There are also non-LEGO activities (an inflatable bounce house of some sort and caricature airbrush artists) as well as public-facing seminars about LEGO.
If you do want to exhibit MOCs there, they’ll wave your registration fee for the full three day event (yes, note that this is a “convention” but it only runs from Friday to Sunday).
