Should we plan on displaying as a LUG? I am not sure if this is an option but it might be cool.

I’ve heard there are some mixed feelings about people’s brickfest live experiences but this is a large Lego event on our doorstep. I would like to display if possible.

Whatever color you decide, I can’t wait to see pics of the fighters.

For the outside “construction crew” What dot you think about M:Tron?
