We attended this last Saturday to celebrate my birthday with the Derrs. It wasn’t all shopping, there were exhibits, stuff made by master builders and plenty of free-play areas. I tried my best to build a decent car in five minutes to win heat number three.
One awesome thing we received with our VIP badges were minifigs, never can have too many of those dudes! I added the torso to my collection of “shirts” for my avatar to wear.
Brickfest continues to tour the country through the rest of the year. Check online to see if it’s coming near you soon, if not, maybe next year.
