>> I have also put in a place holder for a hotel room at the Holiday inn, but have not received a call from their staff like the website said.
Let me get back to you on that one. In the past, they were good about calling within a week or two. But I remember last year they waited until the last week, and I was getting nervous and was just a day…[Read more]

I’m curious as to who is on this list. But also, besides time frame, what’s the methodology for determining a thread was killed? A lot of them are for specific events, so once the event is over (and people have commented on how it went, posted pics, and gotten their cup cre…[Read more]

1pm on the 18th works for me.
I was too slow on posting about the games we played at the last one, but I’m going to continue my tradition of making up names that better describe them. I didn’t make it in time for Tin Spin. Quacks of Quedlinburg I would call the Don’t Let Your Potion Explode game, and Skull I would describe as the Micah…[Read more]

>> One of the years at Brickfest live when you bought a goodie bag you got a Brickfest live minifig. Not sure how they got away with it.
I’m under the impression that a lot of it was that TLG wasn’t always good at paying attention to what was going on in the adult community. I’m pretty sure I have minifigs with both BrickFair and BrickWorld…[Read more]

Did they make a Geppetto minifig? You could try and position him as “Pinocchio in progress”.

We don’t need a lawyer for this one. To start with, it’s not copyright, it’s trademark, so nothing about copyright applies here. Lego’s rationale is explained in the link that Tim B posted. I had said that “it came up” at a meeting, but that’s not strictly accurate, cause that makes it sound like it was a bit random, which I’m pretty sure it…[Read more]

Sorry Greg, I think this one is DOA, it was a good idea while it lasted.
>> I imagine we could get around this by customizing a wearable minifig accessory…like a cape or vest, helmet, etc. Something that isn’t a minifig but could be used with a minifig, but….not a lawyer so can’t say for sure.
It’s not just an issue of being legally clear -…[Read more]

If it was my minifig LUGDoug, I would not feel the need to put the old logo on his back.
Your other option is to contact Citizen Brick and see if they’d print the logo and minifig face directly on the parts for you. You can expect high quality results, but it’s also likely to be quite expensive.
Also, I hate to rain on our parade here, but it…[Read more]

@tfdesigns should also be able to help, he used stickers to make my White-Tron guys and they look great.

Ugh, there have been real life issues today that required immediate attention. I am planning on coming, but I’m almost certainly going to be late at this point. I think I should be there by 6:30. You guys can start the first game without me if you want, I can just watch and trash talk.

That’s exactly what it’s like 😀 Also Walter has a lot of fun cool space parts that I don’t have, and I don’t have to worry about disassembling my build or sorting it after I’m done (so nice of him). Also, it’s sort of like being a kid again (I just made it up as I went along using whatever I could find…[Read more]

>> I love space! So what all is involved/takes place for a Space Build? You choose a theme and boom, go for it? Collaborative or individual builds?
What’s involved is showing up. The general idea is for it to be a low-key social get-together that doesn’t involve a business meeting or dealing with the public. The first two were in 2019, and did…[Read more]

CORRECTION: They finally fixed it! The BrickFair website was down for most of November and December, but when it came back online, I couldn’t detect any difference from the old site, even though I was looking. But I’m on now, and you *can* access everything about the NoVA event now.
The first thing to do is to register your MOC’s with the…[Read more]

For now, you just need to contact the group here. Eventually you will need to register your MOC’s on the BrickFair website, but due to a quirk in the system, you won’t be able to until after the Fredericksburg event ends in early March.
For the LUG display, we will reserve a space…[Read more]

I’m still hoping to come and staff at least one shift, because I want to see the display in person. I haven’t put my name on the sheet because my schedule is still TBD, but it will probably be either the afternoon shift Saturday or the afternoon Sunday. I don’t plan to bring anything for the display.

Is the search engine here turned off? I get zero results no matter what term I put in.
I was looking for the LUGBulk 2024 thread. This is the time of year when we usually get the parts list, it occurred to me recently that I haven’t heard anything since we signed up in the fall.

Do you still need PaB cups? I forgot to bring them to Q4, and I told Krista I could bring them over to her house after I washed them, but I never did. But if you still need some, I can still make it happen.
