I was planning to bring them to the meeting to offer to anyone who wanted them. You’re welcome to take whatever’s left for the LEGO Studio if you want them. I’ll coordinate with @knb112 as well.

I can ask Jim if I can bring down Pikachu and I have some poke balls.

I’m all for doing whatever makes the most sense for us and the store. @iamrjthompson what do you think? For Comicon in Erie we primarily did games, Star Wars, Marvel, or whatever you wanted to bring.

The event went well. Had quite a few people stop by. @iamrjthompson was in good form chatting everyone up about his builds. @bacon1986 ‘s Brikhead scavenger hunt was a hit with the kids. Glad we could support the event. I’m always up for helping out libraries.

The Incline itself fits nicely on a standard 6 ft. x 2.5 ft. table. I’d want to locate the table close to an outlet so I can plug in to run the cars. It will take me at least an hour to set it up, so if you want it to be up and running by the 9 am start…Read more

We would need to come up with a prototype and then source the pieces. I would think something around 100-150 pieces is probably sufficient. A Cathedral of Learning model would probably be the most recognizable building on campus. Or we could do a Steel Tower. Let me see if I can work on something. @iamrjthompson…Read more

@iamrjthompson can confirm, but I think the idea is we have as much space (and tables) as we want to display, so anything could be fair game. That said, I’d still lean toward MOCs and not stock sets (you know how we do). The stuff you’ve modded (SW carousel, motorized AT-AT) is fine, but maybe not the standard stuff. Unless you…Read more

I’m 90% sure I’ll be there (unless any of the kid’s baseball games get rescheduled for Saturday afternoon). I’ll bring my Pittsburgh miscroscale buildings to add to the display.

@iamrjthompson do you have the street address for the library? Is there parking on site?
